Motion, Ayes (4 ) - Nays (0) . No comments from the public . PUBLIC COMMENTS Jeanne Mabusth, Zoning Administrator, prepared a memo concerning a variance for Milton H. Seifert, VARIANCE 1856 Shadywood Road, dated May 28 , 1980 , which states: 1856 Shadywood Road #548 Hardcover Variance - Milton Seifert Permitted 4 ,113 sq. ft. or 250 Existing 7,360 sq. ft. or 450 Proposed 5,758 sq. ft. or 35% Dr. Seifert proposes construction of a 14 ' X 21 ' addition on the lakeside of his residence and raise hishouse four feet to create a lower level . It appears the lakeshore addition meets the average setback distance from the lake. The variance is required because of the extensive hardcover existing on the property. The applicant has proposed removal of specific paved areas on the site that will result in a l0o reduction of hardcover . The major concern of the Planning Commission through the entire review has been the consideration of the three rental units, but more specifically, the lakeshore unit. Planning Commission in their recommendation approved the variance application with the condition that Dr . Seifert enter into an agreement with the City that would require the complete removal of the lakeshore structure within a time framework not to exceed five years. Please review the Planning Commission minutes of April 7 , 1980 and May 5, 1980 for background and recommendation. Staff Comments - For the May 5, 1980 meeting, staff noted concern in the reviewing memo that the designated paved areas to be removed may create more safety problems by negating the turnaround ability by the main house if parking is allowed. The applicant has stated that each residence� is assigned a stall in the garage and that additional parking is provided behind the garages along Shadywood Road. Applicant states turnaround ability will be retained up at the house because parking will not be allowed. - Adams voiced the same concern and asked that the City Engineer address the issue of parking requirements for four residential units in relation to the proposed parking on the site . The same ordinances apply as did in the review of the David Butler application. (Continued)
