Item No.: 17 Date: February 12, 2024 <br />Presenter: Melanie Curtis <br />Presenter: Planner <br />Section:Consent Agenda <br /> <br /> <br />Title: LA23-000068, Murphy & Co. Design o/b/o 3400 Fox Street Trust, 3400 Fox <br />Street, Average Lakeshore Setback Variances - Resolution No. 7449 <br /> <br /> <br />1.Purpose: <br />The purpose of this application is to review variances for average lakeshore setback in order to <br />redevelop the property. <br />2.MN§15.99 Application Deadline: <br />This application was received on December 13, 2023 and considered to be complete on December <br />14, 2023. Due to the lack of a Planning Commission meeting in December, the 60-day application <br />review deadline has been extended an additional 60-days and will expire on April 12, 2024. <br />3.Background: <br />The applicants are requesting average lakeshore setback variances to redevelop the 7+ acre <br />peninsula property at the westernmost end of the private road portion of Fox Street. Due to the <br />property’s configuration as a peninsula, and the location of the homes on either side (3345 Fox <br />Street on the north, and 3350 Fox Street on the east), the average lakeshore setback line renders the <br />property unbuildable. Please refer to the January 16th Planning Commission staff report for a full <br />background and analysis. <br />4.Planning Commission Vote and Comment: <br />The Planning Commission reviewed this application at their January 16th meeting and voted 4 to 0 <br />in favor of approval following the staff recommendation. <br />5.Public Comment: <br />The applicant reached out to the two adjacent neighbors, however no public comments were <br />received on this application. <br />6.Staff Recommendation: <br />At the time of Planning Commission's review there were areas requiring minor adjustments (i.e. <br />detached garage parking court and retaining wall, and a portion of the proposed lake access stair). <br />The Applicant's revised plans (attached as Exhibits C and D) incorporate the Staff and Planning <br />Commission-recommended changes (removal of the improved lake stair path within the 75-foot <br />setback; and adjustment of the parking area and retaining wall serving the detached garage). Staff <br />recommends approval. <br />AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />The Council should adopt Resolution No. 7449 approving average lakeshore setback variances. <br />Exhibits <br />Exhibit A - Draft Resol 7449 <br />Exhibit B - Revised Survey <br />91
