He felt the DNR was implying that the structure may be acceptable if placed over <br />existing hardcover. <br />Nolan suted that these structures tend to "look bad" after a period of time even though they are <br />galvanized. He asked if DeSantis would consider any other r>pe of structure. DeSantis said <br />they would but explained that one of the strong points of these structures was the longevity ot <br />weathering. He felt that maintaining the building would not be a problem since it would be <br />similar to some boat maintenance <br />Berg asked if the structures would be leased. DeSantis confirmed that they could be with an <br />option to buy. He stated dock boxes do not provide sufficient volume for storage. <br />Schroeder stated he would be inclined to fmd some ^ -e of storage for the personal lawn mower, <br />etc. close to the existing building. He would be opposed to any t\'pe of "mini-storage as there <br />are off-site options for this. <br />Smith suggested DeSantis consider enlarging the existing outside shed (which has the same <br />outside siding) and using some inside cabinetry for life preservers, etc. Although this may not <br />be ideal to the applicant, it may be a workable compromise. <br />DeSantis stated it would depend on what could be attached. There is a need to store pumps. <br />Currently the shed houses only electrical equipment. He questioned if he would gain enough <br />storage by enlarging the shed but thought it would worth a try. <br />It was moved by Peterson, seconded by Lindquist, to deny Application #1874 for the requested <br />hardcover and lakeshore setback variances for two storage structures. The proposed location <br />is unacceptable and there does not seem to be enough of a hardship. <br />DeSantis asked if the struemres were moved to the parking spaces out of the 0-75 setback area <br />and only one struemre used, would the objection be removed. <br />Schroeder noted the 0-75 ’ setback issued would be addressed but the nature of the building and . <br />hardcover are still issues. <br />i
