Van Zomeren distributed photographs of the property and a handout. Van Zomeren said the request is for a 12'x26' deck on the north side of the residence in the front yard requiring front, side, and structural coverage variances. The. 15 ac property is located in the LR-IC Zoning District. Per the Planning Commission recommendation, the plan was revised to a 20'xlO' deck.

A side yard variance was received at that time which was in part the street file information, but on microfiche. The handout included information fruind on the microfiched records indicating prior variances received in 1974.

ROBERT KEITH, 1045 EDGEWOOD HILLS ROAD - VARIANCE - RESOLUTION NO. 3970 Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 3970. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. (#11) ORDINANCE AMENDMENT - SHORELAND AND ON-SITE SEWAGE TREATMENT, ORDINANCE NO. 162,2ND SERIES Gaffron reported that the Council had directed Staff to draft an amendment extending the time period for septic system upgrade in the Shoreland District from 2 years to 10 years to replace any system that does not meet the 3* sq>aration. Staff was also directed to revise the ordinance to eliminate the building permit process fix>m triggering the septic ^stem upgrade. This resuhs in the ordinance being consistent between Shoreland and non-Shoreland properties. The rationale behind this decision is the upcoming review of sewering of rural areas. The high cost of septic system replacement is also a factor. There are a number of areas in the rural area that could be scheduled for sewer, and it would not make sense to require the septic improvement and then have sewer instaUed. 16
