An average lakeshore setback variance is also technically required. In 1992, Orono <br />adopted its Shoreland Ordinance pursuant to requirements of the MN DNR, which defined French Lake <br />as a natural Environment Lake, requiring a 150 -foot setback for structures from the ordinary high water <br />level. The house was constructed prior to 1992 and is legally nonconforming. The Council has since <br />then granted a number of variances for additions t existing nonconforming residences around French <br />Lake. <br />The Planning Commission has reviewed this application and voted 3 -2 to deny the lakeshore setback <br />variance and suggested the plans be revised to help screen the addition from the views from the lake. <br />The applicant has requested that his application be,forwarded to the Council. <br />Gaffron noted the 60/120 day review period ends on Tuesday, August 15, and that the applicant should <br />be requested to provide an extension if approval is not granted tonight. <br />Murphy inquired what the appropriate screening methods might consist of. <br />P <br />9 <br />
