List. of Exhibits Exhibit A - Planning Commission Minutes of IV/16/89 Exhibit B - Notice of Planning Commission A `ion of 10/20/89 Exhibit C - Memo & Exhibits of 10/12/89 Exhibit D - Draft Resolution Discussion - Please review the merio and exhibits of October 12, 1989. Briefly, the applicants are requesting a hardcover and setback variance to construct a greenhouse addition to the existing residence. The existing residence is partially within the 0-75' zone. Per Exhibit H, applicant indicates that, contrary to staf f's measurement on the small scale survey, the proposed addition will be no closer to the lake than portions of the existing house. Hardcover in the 0-75' zone is proposed to increase from 5.7% to 7.6%. No hardcover removals are proposed. In conjunction with the greenhouse addition, applicant. �proposes to construct a 24"-30" retaining wall at the top of the ank adjacent to the house (see Exhibit H). Also, applicant proposes to construct a draintile between the house and the lakeshore bank to transport surface ruri-off from the 0-75' zone to a wet well in the 75-250' zone, which would ultimately discharge over land in the 75-250' zone. The Planning Commission, at their October 16th meeting, recommended approval of the hardcover and setback variances and conditional use permit for grading, on a vote of 5-2. In their minority opinion, Planning Commissioners Kelley and Cohen indicated that they felt that there was no hardship nor Justification shown for the increase in hardcover and s•ructure in the 0-75' zone. Comments from the Flanning Commissioners recommending approval indicated that the relatively low �trcentage of hardcover in the 0-75' zone coupled with the fairly insignificant visual impact from the lake, were positive aspects of the request, as was the intent 4-o direct drainage away from the shoreline.
