linniTBS OF THB PLMnilBG COHNISSIOH :\a:mm HffiLD HKI 4, 1987 fii09 JOBBSoa corn II -I property due to the 6' high solid fence extending along the deck of his neighbor to the south. Mr. Johnson submitted photos of the adjacent homes which indicate the house to the south has a second story deck extending 6' and has a 6' wall/fence excending out approximately 15-17' along the side which drastically reduces applicant's view. In response to Chairman Kelley's question. Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron stated that the 6' fence was never permitted as such technically they cannot have the 6' fence there. Regarding requiring removal of th^* fence, because staff cannot verify when the fence was place, Gaffron is unsure that the City can legally require its removal. Chairman Kelley felt a decision could not be made until it was known whether the fence could or could not be required to be removed. Taylor questioned whether the Planning Commission had an accurate depiction to make their recommendation relative to the physical location of the 6' long fence, and if not, the average house setback may in fact be closer to the lake giving the applicant more room to work with. Bellows noted her concerns with leap frog encroachment into the average lakeshore setback area. Planning Commission member Johnson recommended using the 1st story deck at 2016 Shadywood and the 2nd story deck at 2032 Shadywood to determine the average deck setback for applicants deck at 2024 Shadywood. Staff recommended allowing applicants house to be placed up to the average setback line and allowing a 6' maximum second story deck past the average setback line. After discussion, it was moved by Taylor, seconded by Johnson, to revise their recommendation from the April 20th meeting as follows: House must be behind average house setback line. Second story deck may extend 6' further lakeward or up to the "average second story deck setback line", whichever is more restrictive. Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 1, Abstention 1. Cohen voted nay. Bellows abstained. CounciImember Callahan stated that he did not agree with the method determining the average setback. ^ 1
