Date Application Received: 06/17/2025 Date Application Considered as Complete: 08/04/2025 60-Day Review Period Expires: 10/03/2025 To: Chair Bollis and Planning Commission Members Adam Edwards, City Administrator From: Melanie Curtis, Planner mcc Date: 18 August 2025 Subject: #LA25-000024, Boyer Building Corp o/b/o John & Suzanne Bohn, 1440 Baldur Park Road Variances and CUP Public Hearing Background The subject property is located on the Baldur Park peninsula. The applicants have requested variances to construct a new home. The new home footprint is proposed to encroach approximately one foot into the rear/street setback, 10 feet lakeward of the 75-foot lake setback, and the 2nd story balcony encroaches 14.3 feet lakeward of the 75-foot setback and approximately 3 feet into the average lakeshore setback. On the rear, an approximate 3 square foot triangle of the home footprint is proposed to encroach into the 30-foot rear yard setback by ±one foot. Also requested are variances for hardcover to permit 31.5% hardcover overall, where the current level is 31.9% (where 25% is permitted); a 232 square foot reduction in hardcover is proposed within the 75-foot setback area. Because of the need for the above variances, lot area and lot width variances are also required. Due to the low, flat elevation on the property, they are proposing to elevate the home on fill, which requires a 15-foot-wide perimeter rescue-bench elevation of at least 931.5’ around the home. The property width limits their ability to achieve the 15-foot bench; therefore, a CUP is also required. Practical Difficulties Analysis Applicant Submittal Information: The applicant has identified the substandard area and width of the lot as practical difficulties supporting the requested variances. Additionally, they have provided supporting documentation regarding Practical Difficulties Application Summary: The applicant is requesting the following variances to redevelop the property with a new home: 1.

Hardcover within 75 feet of the OHWL. A conditional use permit is also required to deviate from the 15-foot perimeter rescue bench required for the home to be elevated out of the floodplain on fill. Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval. 9 PC Exhibit A
