Average Lakeshore Setback Discussion <br /> Community Development Director Laura Oakden began discussion by describing the <br /> different types of lakeshore setbacks. Oakden mentioned the lakeshore setback can <br /> vary depending on the lake it surrounds. The Average Lakeshore Setback is applied <br /> to protect neighboring views of the lake across property lines. She also noted that it is <br /> site specific when determining the ALS on various properties. Oakden noted that <br /> they are a range of situations that should be considered when determining ALS. <br /> Staff asked Council for input on how the city handles ALS. There was discussion <br /> relating to reasoning, intent, and handling of ALS. <br /> Walsh mentioned what would it look like if staff had more administrative control in <br /> certain cases. <br /> Edwards noted that he would like staff to look into options of using a formula or <br /> calculations versus drawing straight lines to determine the ALS. The shoreline varies <br /> and straight lines are not always conducive for the process. <br /> Meeting ended at 5:46 p.m. <br /> CITY OF ORONO: <br /> ATTEST: <br /> Dennis Walsh,Mayor <br /> A a Carlson, City Clerk <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br />
