As <br />part of the redevelopment they are proposing to rebuild the existing boat house. The boat house is an <br />existing legal non-conforming structure and as part of its in-kind replacement they are proposing to eliminate <br />the open space and the existing retaining wall which create and awkward, if not unsafe, void behind the <br />boathouse. <br />New retaining walls and a lake access stair are proposed which require approval of a conditional use permit <br />{CUP) and hardcover variance with the 75 foot setback. In place of the wall and hardcover removals the <br />applicant is proposing to fill in the void and install two separate short stairs with retaining walls on the east <br />side of the boat house . They have proposed a landscape plan to screen the proposed walls and stairs. <br />Including the boat house, the applicant's current plan reflects a variance to allow 703 square feet of hardcover <br />within the 75 foot setback zone where hardcover is normally not allowed. A CUP is required prior to engaging <br />in activities that include fill to elevate or alter the existing natural grade. The Code provides criteria against <br />which the Planning Commission and Council should review the CUP. <br />Planning Commission Recommendation <br />On October 21, 2013 the Planning Commission voted 7 to Oto recommend approval of the variance and the <br />CUP.
