MIHUTBS OP THE PIAHMIHG COMMISSION MEETING 9FLD JULT 18, 1988 #1307 DOUGLAS AND DIANE MERZ-CONTINUED that the proposed deck will not have any negative effect on the neighboring properties. Mr. Cole Graham, a neighbor residing across the street from the Merz property, stated that it would be a shame to deny this request. There were no further comments from the public. Cohen reminded the Applicants that they will need to obtain the necessary building permits to comply with the plans. Kelley questioned whether there will be any difficulty in meeting the required 3’ setback to the well. Applicants indicated there would be no problem. It was moved by Johnson, seconded by Kelley, to recommend approval of #1307, setback variance to construct a deck, in accordance with staff recommendations. Motion, Ayes*6, Nays*0, Motion passed. #1308 ROBERT ONBHS 1700 BOHNS POINT ROAD VARIANCE PUBLIC BEARING The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. The Applicants were present for this matter. Gaffron stated that this was an after-the-fact application to reconstruct a deck. There was significant damage to Applicants' property due to the July 23, 1987 storm. Mr. and Mrs. Owens contracted to have the damage repaired. It was necessary to remove the stairway from the existing deck in order to allow equipment get by the house. When the stairs were removed, it was discovered that the deck was infested with carpenter ants, resulting in the deterioration of the structure making replacement necessary. Even though there is no change in the amount of hardcover, the variance is needed because the pre-existing structural deck hardcover has been entirely removed. There were no public comments. Applicant stated that their contractor built the replacement deck while they were on vacation. The contractor applied for the necessary permits to do all of the other storm damage repair, but failed to obtain a permit for the deck. Applicant stated that in doing the repair to the lakeshore, there was a fieldstone patio on the waterline that has been removed, reducing the overall hardcover in the 0'- 75' zone. It was moved by Hanson, and seconded by Moos, to recommend approval of the hardcover variance, per staff recommendations and obtaining a permit. Motion, Ayes=6, Nays=0, Motion passed.
