REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Department Approval: Administrator Reviewed: <br />Name Jeanne A. Mabusth <br />Title Building & Zoning Administrator <br />DATE: April 5, 1994 <br />ITEM NO.: <br />Agenda Section: <br />Zoning <br />Item Description: #1907 James and Joann Jundt, 1400 Brackett's Point Road -Variance - <br />Resolution <br />Brief Review of Application <br />For more background on this review, please refer to the minutes of the Planning <br />Commission meeting and the original staff memo dated March 16, 1994. <br />The current application involves a request for variances to allow the repair of two stone <br />step accessways within the east shoreline of the property. There will be no expansion of <br />hardcover. The steps will be placed within the exact location. There will be minimal land <br />alterations needed to secure land based beneath the stone steps. The existing railings will be <br />replaced. The code was once again discussed as far as how many accessways were allowed for <br />a lakeshore lot. The code does not limit a single homestead site to one access stair. The <br />property has over 1600 lineal feet of shoreline and the east shoreline has approximately 620 <br />lineal feet. Major portions of that 620 feet have steep banks. Planning Commission members <br />concurred that because of the length of the shoreline and the various activities along the <br />shoreline that if accessways were not provided, it would encourage users to climb up and down <br />bank creating potential erosion problem. <br />Members questioned applicants' representative on the status of the boathouse that <br />appeared to be in disrepair and noted that it would be their desire to see the boathouse removed. <br />Members also noted the uniqueness of the grotto area. Planning Commission members wanted <br />applicants to once again be advised of the special standards in the code established for non- <br />conforming structures. <br />Planning Commission Recommendation <br />The Planning Commission recommended unanimous approval of the variance application <br />as proposed allowing the repair of the two stone step accessways, subject to the findings and <br />conditions of the approval resolution enclosed. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />To adopt or amend approval resolution. <br />lsv
