List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Plat Map Exhibit C - Property Owners List Exhibit D - Survey Exhibit E - Survey with Staff Notes Exhibit F - Staff Hardcover Review Exhibit G - Enlarged Air Photo Exhibit H - Section 10.55, Subdivision 26 Pertinent Facts - 1. This property originally contained a 10.9'xl8.2' boat house, with concrete walls. That boat house was located about 10' back from the shoreline, at the base of a steep slope. That boat house was damaged in the 1987 storms and applicant took the initiative to remove the damaged structure, leaving the portion of the concrete walls that act as a retaining wall for the bank. Applicant then constructed a 12.2'xl8.2' deck in the same location as the pre-existing building, using the pre- existing foundation as partial footing for the deck. 2. Due to the bank erosion that occurred in 1987, applicant is constructing approximately 24' of retaining wall adjacent to the deck. An 8' section 3'-4' high is needed between the steps and the ld foundation wall at the top of the stairway. A section about 16' long at a height of 2'-5' is partially completed just west of the old foundation. A similar older existing wall directly east of the lakeshore stairway appears to be holding up quite well. This retaining wall is totally screened by existing shrubbery and bushes so that it is not visible from the lake. 3. Hardcover in the 0-75' zone is 425 square feet or 5.4%, of which just over half is due to the deck that was constructed. (Hardcover in the 75-250' zone was not reviewed.)
