GARY O'KEEFE, 1392 BALD.UR P ARJ{ ROAD.., Y ARIANCES - <br />RESOLUTION l'f0.·4_1~8 ... + Mrs. O'Keefe .was present. <br />T <br />Gaffron reported that the applicants were requesting a hardcover variance and conditionaJ use <br />permit and variance for grading within 5' of a lot line and within the 0-75' lakeshore setback to <br />construct a new residence. The revised site plans meet the Planning Commission <br />recommendation to maintain 25% hardcover, which is a decrease from 7,258 s.f, to 5,725 s.f. <br />The applicants also proposed a pond but the Planning Commission did not want to tie variance <br />approvals to stormwater management. <br />Gaffron noted that no decks were proposed for this lakeshore property. The applicants have <br />indicate.~ they are willing to give up decks for living space, although a future owner may seek <br />variances for a deck. Both Planning Commission and staff recommended approval of the <br />proposed plans. <br />Jabbour commented that Council had given Planni~g Commission direction to limit the number <br />ofvariances. · · · · <br />Goetten indicated that she had been at two Planning Commission meetings, and the current plan <br />was a good compromise for the property. <br />Kelley expressed concern about the mass of buildings on lakeshore properties. He questioned if <br />Council would want to add a condition limiting additional mass, such as a second story, for this <br />residence. Jabbour agreed with Kelley that massing is an issue and Council should continue to <br />monitor lakeshore structures for excessive mass in future applications. <br />Goetten requested stronger wording in the resolution on Page 5, Condition 2. The word "likely" <br />. is to be removed indicating that no future incr~ase in hardcover will be approv~d. <br />Goetten moved, Jabbour seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 4128 granting hardcover <br />variances in the 75-250' zone to permit construction of a new residence, and to permH <br />grading and land alterations within the 0-75' lakeshore protected area.
