Gaffron, Assistant Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />Date:July 16, 1997 <br />Subject:#2187 Donald and Robin Helgager, 3265 Sixth Avenue North - Variances <br />Continuation of Public Hearing - Plan Revisions <br />Zoning District: RR-IB, Single Family Rural Residential, 2 Acre, (Jnsewered <br />Application: Applicants have withdrawn their proposal for constructing a guest apartment, and <br />have revised their current application. The new proposal is for construction on <br />the footprint that was eqjproved in June 1996 (Resolution No. 3737) but with the <br />addition of a second story over the attached garage addition.

The justification for this variance <br />was removal of the existing detached garage which encroaches within 123' of the OHWL. <br />The 1996 approval also granted an average lakeshore setback variance, justified on the basis <br />that the removal of the existing garage and subsequent construction of the new attached garage <br />and room additions would result in less encroachment of the average lakeshore setback than <br />currently exists, with the likelihood of additional views of the lake opened up to the easterly <br />:i
