The existing 604 s.f. deck platform located at the shoreline encroaches <br /> into the neighboring property and is proposed to be removed, resulting in <br /> significant decrease in hardcover near the lakeshore. The net decrease in <br /> 0-75' hardcover from 14.4% to 12.5% is a positive improvement to the <br /> property. <br /> �B. Applicant's dock similarly encroached the neighboring property line <br /> extended and is proposed to be moved to meet LMCD requirements, <br /> thereby creating an access point offset by approximately 30' from the <br /> existing concrete stairway which leads down the lakeshore bank and <br /> provides access to the shoreline for the applicant. <br /> C. Planning Commission fmds that it is appropriate to allow a 4' walkway <br /> laterally along the shoreline to connect the new dock access point to the <br /> existing concrete stairway, thereby avoiding an additional cut into the <br /> • lakeshore bank. <br /> � D. The proposed addition of boulders adjacent to the existing retaining wall <br /> approximately 10-15' back from the shoreline is appropriate to provide <br /> additional support for the lakeshore bank, and the addition of 6-12" in <br /> height of riprap at the shoreline is appropriate to protect the shoreline. <br /> The proposed 12" depth of sand betweeri the riprap and the retaining wall ' <br /> has been reviewed by the City Engineer who finds it acceptable from an <br /> engineering standpoint. The majority of the sand area is proposed to be <br /> revegetated with native grasses, leaving approximately a 10'x20' area of <br /> sand exposed to provide a "beach" character. Planning Commission fmds <br /> . that leaving patio blocks in place underneath the sand layer may provide <br /> additional stability for the shoreline and therefore it is appropriate to leave <br /> the patio blocks in place. <br /> , 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br /> recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br /> by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and <br /> welfare of the community. . <br /> • , Page 2 of 7 <br />
