Weinberger stated the Applicants have applied for a variance renewal application to renew variances originally approved in 1992. The variances approved additions to the existing residence and adding three to four courses of block under the existing house to raise the ceiling height of the walkout level of the house. The approval was required to permit expansion of the existing house located within 75' lakeshore setback. A variance to hardcover in the 75 -250' setback was required to permit a number of improvements to the property. The property owner has indicated he was advised by the City that the application would not require yearly renewals. The variances expired one year from the date of approval. The Applicant has indicated the intent is to complete the project in stages, with the raising of the foundation to occur first. The Planning Commission recommended approval of this application on a 6 to 1 vote. The Planning Commission expressed concerns relating to drainage and the condition of the building foundation. Weinberger noted the primary issues with the drainage were dealt with in 1992. The approval of the variances was based on the information the Planning Commission received that the foundation was in good condition and would not need replacement. The Applicant was informed that any structural work • to the foundation would require a new variance application, with the project being considered new construction at that point. PAGE 5
