Zoning File #1584 October 11, 1990 Pa^'C 2 of 3 4, Variances Required: 0-75' Hardcover 75-250* Hardcover Avg. Setback Encroachment Side Setback Pre-Existing 6.61% Current Required or Allowed 69.3%* 11' approx 12' 6.61% 69.6% 20' 8.5' 0% 25% O' 10' Staff cannot deterine whether rock and plastic was placed under new deck before or after its construction. Applicant's photos suggest that significant rock and plastic areas have been recently added to the property, as well as total resurfacing of driveway. 5.Many of the applicant's "improvements" to the property appear to have been in conjunction with the neighboring property owner to the north. 6.The Building Inspector's discussions with the neighboring property owner to the south indicate that the excess hardcover on applicant's property and that to the north have caused significant drainage concerns for the neighbor immediately to the south. Note that drainage generally heads to the south and east, and that the applicant's property and that to the south each have an outside drainage basin with draintiles running under ground to the lakeshore yard to help eliminate flooding. Discussion - This is another in what seems to be an unending stream of deck replacements without permits. As in many other cases, the replacement resulted in a significantly larger deck which doesn't meet a number of zoning code requirements. Hardcover in the 75-250' zone is 69.6%, almost triple the allowed amount. More significantly, taking into account the entire lot, 48% of the lot is hardsurfaced. The proposed DNR Shoraland Regulations would allow 25% of the entire lot to be hardsurfaced. Clearly, this property is nowhere near being in compliance. Many of the hardcover items appear to have been completed in conjunction with the neighbor to the north who shares the extensive blacktopped driveway area, the concrete walkway to the lake ending in a shared dock, and similar areas of rock and plastic landscaping.
