The application nad previously been tabled <br />due to problems with the survey, vshich did not accurately reflect the hardcover. The <br />proposal is for a detached garage with dormers requiring variances for hardcover in the <br />75-250' lakeshore setback, structural coverage, and street setback. Dressier indicated that <br />staff feels the garage location at 8' from the right of way is problematic. <br />The residence was built in 1996 without a garage. The residence consumed the allowed <br />hardcover and structural coverage. A driveway is still needed. The lot area and width do <br />not meet zoning requirements. The structural coverage is proposed at 19%. <br />Dressier reported that the drainage pattern was altered when the residence was built. The <br />drainage problem has not been corrected which was a condition of the temporary <br />certificate of occupancy. Final certificate of occupancy was not obtained. <br />Dressier indicated that the 35' street setback could be met but would further increase the <br />amount of hardcover. The shed will be removed as part of the application but was to have <br />been removed when the house was built. <br />Dressier recommended approval per the amendments and conditions noted in the memo. <br />Okerstrom informed the Commission that he had been unaware of the hardcover issue <br />when he built the house. He feels this should be disclosed to the public. He would have <br />made changes to his plans at that time if he had know n. Okerstrom indicated that the <br />building pad is the same as the previous residence on the property. <br />Dressier said Building Inspector, Bruce Vang, had discussed these issues with the builder <br />when the residence was built. Okerstrom said the information was not passed on to him. <br />He said he only heard of the shed removal and drainage issue recently. Dressier said the <br />drainage correction was part of the condition of the temporary certificate of occupancy <br />but was not done.
