Request for Council Action continued pages August 30, 1996 Zoning File #2151 John and Janice Hurd, 2795 Casco Point Road Planning Commission members u'ere asked to consider reductions in either proposed or existing improvements to offset the 427 s.f. excess of total hardcover on the property. Planning Commission members accepted the hardcover as proposed in the revised plan based on the unique findings or hardships set forth by applicant and as noted by members at both the July and August meetings as follows: A.Residence structures along this section of lakeshore are located 175+' from shoreline restricting placement of structure on property. B. C. The majority of residences are located to the east or street side of property. The boathouse at 400 s.f. in area is in excellent condition and has been maintained by owners. Both neighbors on adjacent properties have asked that the structure remain because of its attractiveness. D.The higher elevations at the residential construction line eliminates any view impact by the single storj' boathouse at the lakeside. E.Placement in approximate footprint of existing residence will eliminate need to remove trees and the further excavation into the higher elevation. The majority of runoff from the developed site will drain towards lakeshore over the extensive 180' of grassed yard. F.The property is located on the point of the shoreline and as a result of the angle of the shoreline, the structure is located further from the shoreline than the neighboring houses. G.The homeowners, receiving most impact by new improvements, have approved the redevelopment plan for the property. Planning Commission Recommendation The Planning Commission recommended approval (4 ayes, 1 nay) of the Hurd variance application as amended for the August meeting based on the unique findings and hardships set forth above. Approval was conditioned on applicants providing an amended survey with building permit application locating the Theilmann residence to confirm the agreed upon lakeshore setback line by neighbors. In my discussions with Mr. Hurd, he has advised that he would attempt to provide the updated survey for the Council meeting. The denial of the application was from Chairman Peterson who has consistently voted against any encroachment of the average lakeshore setback line. \
