Olson Memo 9/23/83 <br />The applicant is planning on constructing a seasonal cabin on his <br />Big Island property this summer. In reviewing the file for this <br />property, it came to staff's attention that an illegal deck and small <br />building had been constructed on the lakeshore sometime between Summer <br />1982 and September 1983. Please read the memo from Alan (Exhibit H). <br />This building, now known to be for storage, was constructed without <br />permits in violation of the zoning ordinances. <br />The applicant signed and returned his automatic variance forms 4n <br />a timely manner in May 1983. Alan held these up after discovering the <br />work in violation. <br />Staff brought applicant in for an after -the -fact variance after <br />discussions regarding the access to the property indicated some form <br />of deck may be necessary to allow safe access to the property. A <br />narrow strip of level shoreline exists next to the lake, then a steep <br />bank of 50-65% slope or steeper rises to a more level plateau and <br />building site above the lake. Applicant has stated that the shoreline <br />is treacherous to walk on and must be traversed in order to reach the <br />south end of the lot, where the lesser slope a 1 lows a pathway to the <br />higher parts of the lot. The existing deck is slatted, and the appli- <br />cant has stated that the shoreline is mainly sand, hence the deck may <br />nearly meet our non -hardcover deck standards. <br />The small storage building is 71x8' and located about 12' from <br />the shoreline according to the survey sketch. Applicant states that <br />it is necessary for practical utilization of the shoreline. <br />1 <br />
