The City Council at that time opened a public hearing regarding the requested variances to redevelop the property. The variances being requested are as follows: lot width, lot area,lake setback,rear setback, garage size,and floodplain fill setback. The Council reviewed the application and voted 5 to 0 to direct Staff to draft an approval resolution for consideration at the January 9 meeting. The Council advised the applicant that the small portion of the patio within the 75-foot setback would not be permitted. To ensure adequate neighbor notifications over the holidays,the application was tabled at the December 12 meeting so the public hearing could be continued and the resolution adopted at the January 9 meeting. The legal notices were published to allow for public hearings by the City Council at the December 12 and January 9 meetings.

The public hearing should be opened tonight and the Council should review the request. Curtis noted that she did amend Exhibit A today,which was put before the Council this evening.
