ON BEHALF OF JUDSON AND ALEYA and Aleya Champlin, Applicants, were present. Turner stated the applicants are requesting Lakeshore setback and hardcover variances to construct an addition to the rear of the existing seasonal dwelling as well as add a second story to it. A foundation type variance is requested to allow the addition to be constructed on post footings rather than a perimeter foundation. The retaining wall portion of this application was approved by Council on November 13, 2007. This portion of the application was delayed because the applicants were out of the country and they wished to be present when this portion of the application was heard by the Council. At their October meeting, the Planning Commission voted 6 to 0 to recommend approval of the variances subject to the pitch of the roof being reduced to 10:12 and a landscaping plan for screening being submitted for Staff review prior to the City Council meeting. Rather than reduce the roof height, the applicant has reduced the height of the side walls ten inches. This is the same amount the reduction in roof pi ich would have reduced the peak height. The applicant also increased the roof overhang to two feet, which lowered the height of the eave line slightly. PAGE 11 of 32
