1. Sloping topography of the lot. 2. The lot is subject to street setbacks on 2 sides and Lake- shore setback from lagoon/main lake. 3. The boat and cradle in its present state could sustain severe damage if moved in mid -winter. 4. Applicant has agreed to store boat off site in future. Planning Commission made the following denial recommendation: To recommend denial of the variance for Richard Eller to permit the storage of an oversized boat on his residential property and further recommends that Council expedite the prompt moving of the :.oat in order to enforce the existing ordinance, with such denial based on the following findings: 1. Planning Commission doesn't see the validity of the hardships claimed by Eller because there is adequate area on the lot in a less obnoxious location to store the oversized boat. 2. Planning Commission doesn't find any hardship in moving the boat that is currently sitting on a trailer which has wheels. Motion, Ayes (5), Nays (J). I have reviewed the informal statements made by Dunn to staff concerning the moving of the boat during the winter months with the City Engineer. He confirms that the calking of an older boat is extremely sensitive to cold and to move the boat over rough terrain creates significant deflections great enough to cause cracking in the old calking. If a boat and cradle are old they can indeed sustain damage. Council Action: To direct staff to draft a resolution of approval or denial for the temporary storage of a boat in excess of 20 feet on a residential property located at 2655 Shadywvod Road to be presented for Council's action at their meeting of March 25th.
