The City Council reviewed the revised application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicants and their -aomey, and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community, at the regular Council meeting of July 8, 1996 and voted 3 to 1 to conceptually approve the requested hardcover variance subject to specific conditions, and directed City staff to prepare a resolution for adoption. The City Council finds that: A.The property has been the subject of previous after-the-fact hardcover variances, the most recent of which was granted in 1991 to allow 5,080 s.f of hardcover within the 75-250' lakeshore setback zone. B.The applicant in spring 1996 constructed a deck on the lake side of the existing residence within the 75-250' lakeshore setback zone, such deck comprising 165 s.f. of additional hardcover. Applicant proposes the concurrent removal of 255 s.f of existing drivex jy and 115 s.f existing landscape area hardcover, resulting in a net hardcover decrease of 205 s.f in the 75-250' zone. C. D. No variances other than hardcover are required for the deck. The applicant failed to obtain a building permit prior to construction of the deck and therefore is subject to after-the-fact investigation fees for this variance application and all necessary building permits. E.The applicants reconstructed the lakeshore bank stairway serving the property at some time during the period 1991-1996 without obtaining the required building permit, and that structure does not conform to the City standards for such structures because it includes a platform 6' in width where only a 4 ’ wide platform is normally allowed. The Council finds that this structure should be brought into conformity and the proper after- the-fact permit be obtained by the applicant. Page 2 of 6 L,I
