Hardcover in the 0-75' lakeshore setback zone shall not exceed <br />the pre-existing level of 0.7% as indicated on the site restoration plan attached <br />as Exhibit B. Applicant is advised that any future proposal to add hardcover in <br />the 0-75' lakeshore setback zone might be approved only in conjunction with the <br />concurrent removal of existing hardcover, resulting in no net increase in <br />hardcover in the 0-75' zone. <br />2. Structural restoration of the existing boathouse is specifically not a part of this <br />approval, and structural repairs to that building shall be reviewed by the <br />Inspections Department and if determined to require variances, shall be brought <br />forth to the Planning Commission and City Council as a separate application. <br />3. Authorities granted by this variance run with the property not with the <br />applicants, but are permissive only and must be exercised by application for a <br />building permit within one year of the date of Council approval, or this variance <br />will expire on that date (October 26, 1999). <br />4. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this <br />variance shall constitute a violation of the zoning code, shall automatically <br />terminate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a <br />misdemeanor. <br />Page 3 of 6
