Zoning File #1830 June 14, 1993 Page 3 A third of the lower deck is located within the 0-75’ setback area, review Exhibit I. According to the site plan approved with the building permit, the principal structure was located 68 ’ from the shoreline. Review Exhibit H, at that time the upper and lower decks were approved 10’ beyond the principal structure. The code did not require a 75’ setback. In fact, there was no specific lakeshore setback merely rear and front setbacks. The front and rear setback was 35’ for this specific zoning district in 1971. The majority of the replacement strucnire is located in front of the average lakeshore setback line. Staff has shown two setback lines, one for accessory structures and the other for principal structure. Review Exhibit D, note adjacent property owners have reviewed the plans and staff has received no comments or questions from adjacent neighbors. The enclosed dining room addition will have an impact on the residence to the west side. The upper and lower deck replacements will not change from the current strucmre. The applicant has not submitted a hardcover inventory although it was not very difficult for staff to determine the non-hardcover areas within the 75-250’ setback zone. The applicant may have assumed since he was not proposing any changes to hardcover that there was no need to provide a hardcover inventory. Staff has been in contact with the applicant and plans to meet with him prior to the meeting so that we may discuss possible removal of existing hardcover on the property. Mr. Oorlog will certainly remember his neighbor ’s after-the-fact variance review in 1990. Staff has enclosed a copy of the hardcover removals site plan developed during the review of that application, Exhibit K. In the case of the neighbor, he proceeded without a building permit to complete the construction of a replacement deck within the lakeshore yard and had increased the lakeward extension considerably. Staff has advised the applicant that we could not recommend any action on the application in its present form. At the time of your meeting, applicant will have developed a schedule for hardcover removals and final hardcover facts will be presented at your meeting or with your final packet submittals on the 18th. Additional Comments The access stairs located within the lakeshore protected area can easily be relocated within the 75-250’ setback area. This can be donw by relocating access stairs to west side of lower deck. Note the walkway that provides access to lakeshore yard is a shared access between the property owner to the west. The setback for the shoreline has been determined at the rip rap area. Upon your inspection of the property, Planmng Commission members are encouraged to review existing landscape improvements to determine what hardcover improvements are nonessential and could be removed with minimal impact on property. The gravel areas adjacent to the detached garage have no landscaping. The gravel area along the west side of the residence has extensive landscaping. Clearly the goal of the Planmng Commission shall be to reduce hardcover on this .229 acre parcel. III Ha Hi II
