PUBLIC COMMENTS It was moved by Councilmember Goetten, seconded by Councilmember Peterson, to approve the Minutes of the March 14, 1988 Council meeting as amended. Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0. There were no comments from the public. PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS Planning Commissioner Ed Brown was present. ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: 11223 JOHN B. WALDRON 1951 CONCORDIA STREET CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT/VARIANCE John Waldron was present for this matter. City Administrator Bernhardson reviewed the original proposal which was denied by Planning Commission and • Council. The revised proposal consists of a 3' deep cut extending to the foundation wall of the existing residence requiring a variance and conditional use permit to allow this work within the 0 -75' lakeshore setback zone. In addition, variances are requested to allow a deck structure resulting in 1.41% increase in hardcover in the 0 -75' lakeshore setback zone. Planning Commission recommended denial of the of the 3' cut; and approval of variances to allow deck within the 0- 75' lakeshore and average lakeshore setback zone subject to no additional hardcover in the 0 -75' zone (requiring removal of an equal amount of existing 0 -75' hardcover). Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained nine alternatives to restoring the lakeshore bank. Based on the relative values and aesthetic impacts of the nine alteratives, staff recommends Option E, which consists of a partial retaining wall system, for restoring the lakeshore bank. Mr. Waldron felt that based on visual impact his proposed 3' cut would be less obtrusive than a retaining wall. He stated that the 3' cut was a compromise from the original plan. Q
