Zoning District: LR-1B, Single Family Lakeshore Residential, 1-acre/140' minimum Lot Area/Width: 60,Q27 s.f.

Staff Recommendation: With regards to the requested conditional use permit for fill in excess of 500 cubic yards,the Planning Commission should review the applicable Zoning Code Sections and evaluation criteria in Section 78-1250 and determine if any negative impacts will result. Planning Commission should also consider whether the impacts of the average setback encroachment are so limited as to warrant a variance. Planning Commission should review the comments by Peter Johnson, representing Morrie Wagener, the adjoining property owner to the south. Pertinent Code Sections 78-1279(6): Ave�°age lakesho�•e setbczck. No principal or accessory structure shall be located closer to the lakeshore than the average distance from the shoreline of existing residence buildings on adjacent lots... The average lakeshore setback line shall be a straight line connecting the most lakeward protrusions of the residence buildings on the immediately adjacent lakeshore lots. Sec. 78-967. Exception.

Where such earth movement is not being perforined in coiljunction with a building permit, a separate land alteration permit shall be required. Any unusual land alterations, including earth filling, renloval or gi•ading, proposed by a builder shall be subject to a conditional use permit as provided for in this chapter. The following land alterations shall be considered as unusual land alterations: (2) Any additional fill brought on site in excess of 500 cubic yards, except for fill required to raise grade for adequate frost footing protection, the intent being that � structures shall not be artificially raised above the preexisting surrounding topography.
