Curtis indicated Staff did receive the revised plans today but that the City Engineer has not yet had an <br />opportunity to review the plans. <br />Kellogg stated one of the main issues with the property is proper drainage and drainage to the north. <br />Moseley commented their current roof is a butterfly roof and by changing it to a peak roof, that would <br />actually help the drainage flow the other way. <br />Murphy noted on Exhibit A the existing houses on either side of this property are set back considerably <br />from this residence and that another story would be added to the structure, which will raise the roofline. <br />Moseley pointed out they are adding a half-story. <br />Murphy asked how the sight line for the neighbor to the north would be impacted and whether that <br />neighbor is in favor of the project. <br />Moseley indicated there are a number of arborvitaes that help screen the property and that the neighbor is <br />aware of the project and is in favor of it. <br />Curtis stated she did speak with the neighbor at 1639 Bohns Point, which is located to the north, and that <br />his initial concern was with the location of the deck, which has now been eliminated. Curtis stated that <br />neighbor has not raised any other concerns. <br />Moseley indicated they did e-mail all the documents they have provided to the City to the neighbor also <br />for his review. <br />Murphy stated the City unfortunately has had problems with issues being encountered with existing <br />foundations once work has commenced and that he would prefer to see the revised plans prior to <br />approving the resolution. <br />White requested the applicants consider utilizing neutral based colors for the home given the close <br />proximity to the lake. <br />Moseley stated they did requestthat their architect design an addition that would update their property <br />and fit in with the rest of the neighborhood but be minimally intrusive. <br />McMillan stated this normally would be an opportunity to get a structure out of the 0-7 5 foot zone but <br />that it is a hardship to relocate the house given the trees and other issues with the lot. McMillan noted <br />this house has been grandfathered in. <br />Bremer moved, Murphy seconded, to direct Staff to draft an approval resolution granting average <br />lakeshore setback and lakeshore setback variances to construct additions and add a half-story to <br />the existing house, and to grant hardcover variances, for the property located at 1635 Bohns Point <br />Road, subject to review and approval of the revised plans by Staff and the City Engineer.
