The fence would be 6' in height. The applicant has <br />stated in his hardship statement 3 1/2' is inadequate for the purposes of containing his 2 Borzois <br />dogs. The proposed location has house access, where placing the fence elsewhere would not allow <br />this convenience. <br />This application requires the following variance: <br />1. To allow a fence to encroach into the average lakeshore setback. (Section 10.03, Subd. 15, <br />Paragraph D). The zoning code does not allow fences to exceed 3 1/?' within the average lakeshore <br />setback. This lot is located with one adjacent residence to the North and a small bay to the South. <br />The average lakeshore setback would be measured as the distance from the one adjacent residence <br />to the lakeshore. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: <br />The Planning Commission recommended by a 4 to 1 vote to: <br />Deny the variance to allow a 6 foot fence to be constructed within the average lakeshore setback <br />where a 3 1/2 fence is allowed based on the applicant's desire to keep dogs on the property, not a <br />result of the lot's topography. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />To direct staff to draft a resolution.
