Mabusth reported that this property provides access to two adjoining properties. The proposal is for variances for hardcover in the 0 -75' and 75 -250' setback zones, lakeshore setback, and average lakeshore setback for the construction of two small additions. One addition is 27 s.f to the lakeside consisting of a single -story bay addition located in the 0- 75' setback. The applicants propose the removal of a Y wide deck at 103 s.f.. This improvement would result in 76 s.f reduction of structural coverage. The other addition is located outside of the 0 -75' setback area. It is a single story addition to the kitchen to expand the dining room area. There would be no reduction in hardcover as improvements will be located over existing hardcover. The additions are located 30' and 40+' in front of the average lakeshore setback. Mabusth said the applicants are in the process of reviewing their financial ability to complete the additions. Applicants may only proceed with one improvement. Mabusth noted that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the variance application. The only member voting against the proposal was Peterson, who historically has voted on principle against proposals encroaching the average lakeshore setback. Peterson did say that there was no visual impact for neighboring properties. • 3
