Road and leaving that natural vegetation. <br /> Gaffron stated Staff did discuss the view corridors as it relates to the Rural Oasis Study with the <br /> applicant. Gaffron stated in his opinion the developer has the right concept of what the City is <br /> attempting to preserve of the view sheds and that this issue could be reviewed later on in the process if <br /> necessary. <br /> Sticlrney noted he did reduce the number of lots proposed on this site also to help preserve the natural <br /> character of the area. <br /> Gaffron commented the City does lose the ability at times to preserve some of the views by clustering <br /> the houses and that perhaps it may be necessary to delineate areas where accessory buildings cannot be <br /> � constructed. <br /> Kempf stated because the view sheds are important on this particular piece of property,he would still be <br /> in favor of outlots instead of covenants to protect the view shecls from accessory buildings because it <br /> would give more complete protection to those areas. . • <br /> Kempf moved,Winer seconded,to recommend approval of Application#07-3275,George <br /> Stichney of BPS Properties,95 Leaf Street,granting preliminary plat approval.

The <br /> applicants like the style of their existing home and would like to build a new home on the existing <br /> foundation,keeping the same style of home but reconfiguring the internal dimensions,with a proposed <br /> small lakeward addition conducive to one-level living. The addition is to allow adequate room for a <br /> bedroom which is driven by a health condition. The applicants have also proposed to construct a small <br /> second stoiy to provide room for their growing family to visit. Their intent is to construct a home which <br /> mirrors the one they have lived in for many years and they intend to use the same gravel-style roofing <br /> material thus keeping the pitch of the roof to a minimum as well. <br /> The applicant is requesting the following variances in order to rebuild a home on the property by <br /> reusing the existing foundation and add a second story: <br /> • <br /> PAGE 28 <br />
