City Council Representative <br /> Jay Nygard was pre . <br /> Actin air Smith called the meeting to order at 6:36 p.m. <br /> / OLD BUSINESS <br /> � (#1) #2636 GARY AND SUSAN CABLE,3532 I�'Y PLACE,VARIANCES, <br /> 6:37 p.m.—7:04 p.m. <br /> Gary and Susan Cable,Applicants, were present. <br /> Weinberger stated this application was reviewed and tabled at the November 20,2000 Planning <br /> Commission meeting. The Applicants are requesting a variance to the requirement that an accessory <br /> buildin�can remain on the property without a principal building. The accessory building in this case <br /> is an ice house located near the lakeshore. A variance is also required to allow hardcover in excess of <br /> the 25 percent limit in the 75-250' setback. <br /> Weinberger stated the principal building was removed to allow construction of a new house. The <br /> property owners were issued a building permit with the understanding they would agree to uphold the <br /> decision by the City regarding the future use of the ice house. A Temporary Certificate of Occupancy <br /> was approved on April 19,2001. A condition of approval was the ice house must be removed or get <br /> City approval, by variance,to allow the ice house to remain on the property within 90 days of the <br /> Temporary Certificate of Occupancy or a fina(Certificate of Occupancy could not be issued and the <br /> house not occupied. <br /> Weinberger stated the permitted hardcover in the 75-250' setback is 25 percent of the area,with the <br /> hardcover in the 0-75' setback being deducted from what is allowed in the 75-250' setback. The <br /> Applicants have prbposed a driveway apron that would only provide access to two garage doors and <br /> would not provide access for the third stall. That anangement eliminated the need for a variance that <br /> they had requested in the past. The City then issued the building permit to the Applicants because <br /> they were under the 25 percent hardcover limit. Weinberger stated when the 96 square feet of <br /> structural coverage for the ice house is included in the hardcover calculations,they are in excess of the <br /> 25 percent alto�ved by 50 square feet. <br /> The Plannin�Commission at its November, 2000 meeting had requested that if the Applicants choose <br /> to keep the ice house on the property,they would need to appear before the Planning Commission, <br /> with the advice that the City does not approve replacement of foundations for structures located within <br /> the 0-75' setback. The App(icants were also advised that if they wished to increase the amount of <br /> hardcover on the property,they would need to remove the ice house. The decision on how to use the <br /> 25 percent hardcover was left.up to the discretion of the Applicants following the November meetina. <br /> PAGE 1 <br />
