Date Application Received: 11/17/15 Council Date Application Considered as Complete: 12/02/15 Exhibit B 60 -Day Review Period Expires: 01/31/16 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 7 December 2015 Item No. Department Approval: Administrator Approval: Agenda Section: Name: Melanie Curtis hIGG Planning Title: Planner Item Description: #15-3796 — A. Sadowski Designs o/b/o Michele Williams -Abbott — 2941 Casco Point Rd Average Lakeshore Setback Variance — Public Hearing Application Summary: The applicant is requesting approval of an average lakeshore setback variance. The variance would permit the construction of a 2nd story over the existing home, modifications to portions of the existing roof to accommodate the addition, and construction of a new lakeside covered porch over an existing deck between 38' and 91' ahead of the average lakeshore setback line. The subject lot, the Abbott property, is situated between two lakeshore lots resulting in application of the average lakeshore setback. The property to the north owned by Nancy Brown (2933 Casco Point Road) is 133 feet from the OHWL; the property to the south owned by Cliff and Barbara Swenson (2965 Casco Point Road) is located 261 feet from the OWHL. The location of the Swenson home results in a severe average lakeshore setback line over the Abbott property which almost entirely separates the living space portion of the house from the garage. The Planning Commission has not reviewed this application. Due to the project logistics and shared driveway the applicant as well as the most affected neighbors (Swensons) have hopes of completing the majority of the construction while the Swensons are away for the winter. The applicant and staff discussed the project in the Fall and due to an inaccurate survey in the file which represented the home at 2967 Casco Point Road as the adjacent neighbor rather than the Swensons, it was not obvious an average lakeshore setback variance would be necessary. Upon a more detailed review correctly applying the average lakeshore setback requirements, staff determined a variance would be necessary. The City's meeting schedule does not offer a Planning Commission meeting opportunity in December, therefore pursuant to City Code Section 78-122 the applicant is requesting that the City Council waive reference of this variance application to the Planning Commission for the public hearing. A unanimous vote is required in order to waive the Planning Commission's review. Notice was published to allow for a public hearing by the City Council at the December 141h meeting.
