Date Application Received: 10/21/15 Date Application Considered as Complete: 10/30/15 120-Day Review Period Expires: 02/27/16 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 21 January 2016 Item No.: 11 Department Approval: Administrator Approval: Agenda Section: Name: Melanie Curtis mcc JML Planning Title: Planner Item Description: #15-3795, Southview Design o/b/o Robert & Beth Schnell, 1130 Old Crystal Bay Rd S , Variances Application Summary: The original request for average lakeshore setback, lake setback, wetland setback, and 75-foot hardcover variances was first reviewed by the Planning Commission in November where it was tabled to allow the applicant to make some changes/reductions. In response to the feedback given, the applicant modified the proposal and in turn the requested variances have changed slightly. The applicant submitted a revised plan which results in a pool patio design following the contour of the 75- foot setback line. A portion of the proposed stair and wall which access grade on the lake side as well as a stepper walkway are still proposed within the 75-foot area. A corner of the pool encroaches as close as 6 feet to the bottom stair and pergola overhang of the adjacent dining deck; a variance would be needed to allow this configuration. (Note: the January 12th staff memo to the Planning Commission incorrectly reported the separation between the pool and the deck and pergola as 4-feet. The actual separation is 6 feet although it still requires a variance.) The revised plan results in the need for the following variances: 1. An average lakeshore setback variance; 2. A lake setback variance to allow structure within the 150-foot setback of French Lake; 3. A 75-foot zone hardcover variance to permit stepping stones as shown; and 4. A structure-to-structure setback variance to allow the pool to encroach as close as 6 feet to the pergola and dining deck. Planning Commission Recommendation On January 19, 2016, the Planning Commission continued the November public hearing and reviewed the revised plans. The Commission voted 5 in favor and 1 against on a motion to approve the revised plan as submitted. The dissenting commissioner was opposed to the allowance of stepping stones within the 75-foot zone to connect the stairs. Planning Staff Recommendation Staff recommends the approval of the variances with the exception of the allowance of the stepping stone pavers within the 75-foot setback. The applicant should be required to provide an updated survey and hardcover calculations which reflect the approved plan prior to adoption of a resolution on this application. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Council should consider directing staff to draft a resolution reflecting your decision. List of Exhibits: Exhibit A. Proposed Plans & Elevations Exhibit B.
