Plat Map Background In February 2015,the City issued a permit for an in-kind rebuild of the existing boathouse on the property. The boathouse reconstruction is now complete;the final step for the property owner to complete this spring is the final lake yard landscaping. In order to stabilize the portion of the slope between the existing stair and the boathouse the applicant is proposing tiered retaining walls on the south side of the boathouse with vegetative screening. Because the retaining walls are not considered an allowed structure within the 75-setback, a variance is required. A 1.5 foot wall is also proposed on the north side of the boathouse to facilitate a continuous flat yard right at lake level.
