Schoenzeit inquired whether the issue is the fact that the amount of hardcover on that lot <br /> has never been documented. <br /> Bremer indicated the concern also deals with the increase in hardcover given the reduction in lot area. <br /> Bremer stated the applicants would need to address the hardcover on the lot. <br /> Gundlach indicated the hardcover numbers included in her report are post-lot line rearrangement. <br /> Gaffron stated there probably should be a formalized variance request by the neighboring property owner. <br /> Jurgens moved,Bremer seconded,to table Application#05-3112,Loren and Stacey Schoenzeit, <br /> 4480 Forest Lake Landing. VOTE: Ayes 6,Nays 0. <br /> Schoenzeit inquired whether the Planning Commission considers this a remodel. <br /> Bremer stated on a rebuild they would be required to comply with the 25 percent hardcover limit and 15 <br /> percent structural coverage limit. <br /> Rahn recommended Staff give the applicant guidance on what issues need to be addressed. <br /> 9. #05-3114 PETER J. BOYER ON BEHALF OF SEVER AND SHARON PETERSON,3145 <br /> NORTH SHORE DRIVE,VARIANCES, 10:58 P.M.- 11:28 P.M. <br /> Peter Boyer,Developer; Sharon and Sever Peterson,property owners, and Jim McNeil, Architect, were <br /> present. <br /> Curtis stated the applicants are requesting a lot width variance, a hardcover variance for the 75'-250' <br /> zone, and an average lake setback variance in order to construct a new single-family residence. The <br /> applicants' property has a 0-75' setback on two sides due to a lagoon located to the north of the property. <br /> Planning Staff recommends approval of the lot width and average lakeshore setback variances but denial <br /> of the hardcover variance. <br /> McNeil stated the lagoon is a big issue and creates a hardship. McNeil stated the integrity of the existing <br /> building is questionable and that they are looking to construct the same size structure as what currently <br /> exists. McNeil noted the new residence would decrease the amount of hardcover within the 75'-250' <br /> zone by six percent. <br /> PAGE 30 <br />
