As-.istant Zoning Administrator Gaffron noted that this is an after -the -fact variance for a deck and storage shed that were placed within the 0-75' lakeshore setback zone. Gaffron noted that the applicant did complete his automatic variance forms and returned them to the City for processing. Gaffron explained that the ap;:lication was held up because of the violation. Mayor Butler moved, Councilmember T. Adams seconded, to approve the after -the -fact variance based on the following findings: 1. Stepp slopes and the uneven, sometimes slippery shoreline terrace make access to the property difficult if not hazardous. 2. The lake access is the only viable access to the property, and in this case the decking appears reasonable to provide a sa` ss. 3. The 7' x 8' storage building acts a, a lock box for storage of boating incidentals (paddles, lifejackets, etc) which reasonably should not have to be carried up the hill after each use. Before the motion was voted upon, Council continued discussion. Councilmember Frahm felt that the deck was acceptable but that the storage shed should not be allowed just to serve as a convenience so the applicant doesn't have to carry incidentals. Frahm noted that everyone else on Big Island or the lakeshore areas in Orono will wrist to have a shed 10 'e this one. Frahm felt that this would be precedent sett inq to allow the shed to remain within the 0-75' setback.
