Radio stated that the question of <br />whether the property can be put to a reasonable use without <br />the approval of the variance works against the applicant in <br />this case, in that the property can be used without the deck. <br />Radio noted that the question of the plight of the land owner <br />due to circumstances unique to his property not created by <br />land o%#ner works in favor of the applicant because of the <br />position of the house and the year the home was built. Radio <br />explained that the question whether approval of this <br />variance wouid alter the neighborhood works in favor of the <br />applicant in that it will not block any neighbors view of the <br />lakeshore. Radio noted that economic considerations do not <br />constitute approval of the variance alone. <br />Mayor Butler moved. CounciImember L. Adams seconded, to <br />approve the variance request of Richard Ragatz and directed <br />staff to draft a resolution of approval noting the following <br />findings: <br />^ flQ view problem would be encountered. <br />2. The proposed deck only extends lakeward as far as the <br />extension of the west line of the house to the south. <br />3.The location of an existing Bex Elder tree and the house <br />to the south are factors which limit the acceptable <br />locations for the proposed deck. <br />The location of applicants existing house poses a <br />problem in locating a suitable deck. <br />Applicant has stated that he has removed 150-200 sf of <br />existing hardcover walkwav^- m the 0-75’ setback zone. <br />The front line of the deck does not and may not extend <br />beyond the front line of the home to the south. <br />Sand is to be placed under the surface of the deck as was <br />done in the Krutzig application to prevent encroachment <br />of hardcover into the 0-75' setback zone <br />8 The deck is low to the ground and will not be noticeable <br />from the lake. <br />9. A deck on either side of the house does not appear to be <br />practical because of limited space. <br />than 75'. <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />".■Jm <br />:(
