These stairways have been in . .ce for many years, and <br />restoration will include repair or replacement of d“tf-inrated stonework and handrails. <br />Additionally, applicants propose to restore the > lerground grotto and its associated retaining <br />wall. This is an underground cellar-type room, located within the lakeshore bank behind a <br />stone retaining wall. Restoration will include mainly cosmetic work including adding stucco <br />interior wall and ceiling panels, adding a decorative light fixture, restoration of the existing <br />wood doors, and restoration of the existing stone retaining wall. <br />Applicants had originally proposed significant restoration of the existing boathouse, which is <br />in failing condition. That work was to include roof replacement, window and door replacement <br />and modification, straightening of the frame, residing, a new concrete floor, and a new concrete <br />step. The August 14 staff memo indicated that the apparent total restoration proposed suggests <br />that the structural work intended likely exceeds 50% of the value of the structure at the time <br />it became non-conforming. The zoning code limits the structural restoration of such structures <br />with the goal that they eventually disappear. Prior to the Planning Commission review, <br />applicajits withdrew the boathouse work from this application. However, at the Planning <br />Commission meetin applicant indicated that rather than remove the structure they intend to <br />repair the roof. Please review the di-^cussion on Page 2 of the .August 14 memo regarding the <br />confermity of this structure.
