• � _ <br /> Mr. William C. Rallberg <br /> August 8, 1990 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Although these requirements may seem excessive for such <br /> a small addition, the City has on several occasions encountered <br /> persons who, even when told to stop and get a permit, have <br /> continued working on their improvements, in the mistaken belief <br /> that once construction was completed, the City would be more <br /> likely to allow the improvements to remain even if they didn't <br /> meet code requirements�. If the City allowed this to continue, <br /> people would begin to ignore the regulations to an even greater <br /> degree, which would defeat the whole purpose of limiting <br /> structure and hardcover in the 0-75 foot zone. <br /> In order for your requested impro vements to be given <br /> full consideration in the same manner an many other similar <br /> requests throughout the community, I would encourage you to <br /> provide the necessary survey and hardcover information. If it is <br /> determined by staff that your impro vements do not meet zoning <br /> code requirements, you certainly have the option of applying for <br /> a variance , as have literally dozens of other lakeshore <br /> homeowners. If however , the variances required and you do not <br /> feel that it is worth the time and expense to apply for one, I <br /> recommend that you have the improvements removed, since they <br /> would in that case constitute a violation of the City's zoning <br /> code. • <br /> In your letter you indicated that you had a difficult <br /> time with the City staff in dealing with this matter. It is my <br /> understanding you have only had one opportunity to talk ,to them <br /> and they remain at your disposal for a phone call or appointment. <br /> Please feel free to contact either Mike Gaffron, Jeanne Mabusth <br /> or Mark Bernhardson our City Administrator, to discuss your <br /> project in detail . They would be happy to review past <br /> applications where r�sidents have constructed similar projects in <br /> which the City required the same things that are being required <br /> of you. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> J mes R. Grabek <br /> Mayor <br /> cc: City Council <br /> Mark Bernhardson, City Administrator <br /> Jeanne A. Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator <br /> �.,�Ic€ Gaffron, Asst.
