(#14) #2238 CfflC DWIGHT AND FRED GUTTORMSON, 1220 TONKAWA ROAD - VARIANCE - PUBUC HEARING - 9:56-10:27 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Fred Guttormson was present. Gafifron rqwrted that the application was a two-part request The first request was for an afler-the-fiict lakeshore setback and 0-75* hardcover variances for an endosure of a room bdow the pre-existing deck. The applicant received approval for tWs endosure last year with the condition that particular bedcover be remov^; the condition was not met. The second request is for a 75-250' hardcover variance for construction of a detadied 30*x32’ garagfe Thc garage will be located to meet the 15' side setback. The garage meets the 10' street setback with ade fiicing doors. Hardcover exists at 36.4% in the 75-250' setback where 25% is allowed. The proposal would result in 35.9% hardcover with removal of a shed and portion of the driveway. A portion ofthe garage is over gravd. The 0-75' hardcover«dsts at 10.9% which includes an 8' gravel driveway which exhibits new c^vel, and a 4'x9' shed. Another shed appears to have been removed. Gaffiron noted there is a loop driveway located in the C-75' setback. The deck exists at 34' from the shoreline. The enclosure did not meet building code standards and was completed without a permit If it is approved, the enclosure would require rdniildUitg. A hardship statement was provided for the garage. No hardship statement was presented for the deck enclosure, but the enclosure had been approved previously but e^ired because the resolution was not signed and no permit was issued. Gaffiron pointed out that the lakeshore deck and gravel driveway are still present on the property. Their removal was required in the previous resolution. Gaffion asked the Commission to consider whether hardship is demonstrated and if other removals should be required to reduce the hardcover. He questioned whether the loop driveway should be in the 0-75' setback. He asked the Commission to verify that conditions of Resolution 3611 should be applied. He suggested the possibility of allowing the applicant five years in which to remove the lakeside deck. Gaffion said Staff does not necessarily recommend ^proval of such an amortization period but recommended conditions 1-4 as outlined in the packet. Guttormson said he had added windows placed on the existing railroad ties to enclose the deck. He believed this would not be considered permanent as the windows are removed in the summer months. He then found he needed an approval and the work performed to building standards. Guttormson said he would like to maintain the lakeshore deck.
