MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELP JULY 18, 1988 #1301 DAVID L. WHITE & FREDRICK C. WHITE -CONTINUED concurred with Mr. Cohen's request for a topographic map. The PC has to be sure that the development of this land is in line with the comprehensive plan of the City. He felt it is important to limit access from County Roads, especially 19, because that traffic will increase over time. Commissioner Johnson agreed that a more comprehensive workup was needed as to development alternatives for the property. Kelley asked for further public comments, there were none. Johnsor questioned whether it was Hennepin Cnunty's position to limit access to the County Roads involved as much as possible. Gaff ron responded that althougr they have not yet responded in this application, typically they would like to limit as far as possible the number of accesses. It was moved b} Kelley, seconded by Cohen, to table #1301 pending Applicant's iurthez consideration of a comprehensive development plan and submittal of topographical map, and review by the City as to the position and cost of the roadway. Motion, Ayes=6, Nays-0, Motion passed. #1207 GENE i CATHERINE SCANLON 2815 CASCO POINT ROAD CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT i VARIANCE THIRD REVIEW Gene and Catherine Scanlon were present for this matter. Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that the Applicants were seekinc the replacement of structures that were damaged in the storm of July 23, 1987. The specific structures involve a lake shore deck, access stairs anc a 7' x 7' storage shed. Applicants now propose placing the storage shec underneath the existing or proposed deck, which will allow for a reduction in the hardcover from what was there prior to the storm. The total hardcover for the proposed deck is 165 sq. ft. The plans have beer reviewed by the buildinq inspector. Commissioner Kc ' ley asked what the 165 ft. included. Mabusth statec it includes just the decking, and not the 149 sq. ft. of access stairs Kelley questioned recommendation #2 regarding plantings. Mabusth repliec that this procedure is very consistent with what they are now asking of al: persons who replace retaining walls in lakeshore yards. She noted that the Applicants have volunteered to reduce hardcover within the 75-250' setbac} area. Hanson commended the Applicants on making every effort to work or this. Mabusth added that the Scanlons are going directly to the Council or this. In regard to the date the hardcover remo•;als are to take place, Hansor asked Applicants for a date they felt was realistic. Applicants repliec next Spring, and June 30, 1989, was agreed upon. The specific hardship! that apply in this particular variance are the extreme slope of the lane and the necessary work required to stabilize that area after the storm. Johnson stated that he did not think this variance was consistent witl the 0'-75' policies in that there is a retaining wall, stairs, storagE structure and deck all within 25' of the Lake. It was moved by Hanson, seconded by Cohen, to recommend approval of #1207, Gene & Catherinc 2
