Motion, <br />Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />#1117 WILLARD C. SHULL <br />1125 SPRING HILL ROAD <br />VARIANCES <br />RESOLUTION <br />Mr. Shull was present for this matter. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for <br />a variance to construct boat ramp tracks, six feet wide <br />and fifty f eet long (approximately 20 feet of the track <br />will be on the land portion of the lakeshore). A <br />variance is required for hardcover and structure within <br />the 0 -75' zone. It was noted that the track is a <br />temporary structure and will remain only during the <br />summer months and the boat will not be stored in the <br />lakeshore yard during the winter. Planning Commission <br />recommended approval in addition to approving additional <br />footage of track in the lake if necessary. <br />Councilmember Goetten expressed concern regarding <br />setting precedents, allowing more than one track ramp <br />for more boats based on lakeshore footage (similar to <br />LMCD regulations), and voiced concern with alternative <br />of dredging and filling with rock. <br />Councilmember Sime was concerned about the neighbors' <br />feelings regarding this structure. <br />Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that the <br />construction of the track ramp is an alternative to <br />dredging. She noted that at this particular site, the <br />neighbors will not be able to see the ramp. She <br />suggested that staff could obtain acknowledgments from <br />the adjacent neighbors. In regard to the concern of <br />precedent setting, she advised that unique hardships <br />must be found with each variance application and sought <br />further comment from the City Attorney. <br />4 <br />
