The house on the north side is fairly new, which is the side <br /> the new deck will be on. <br /> Hayes indicated he did speak with the neighbors about the project and that they will not really see the <br /> deck because of the little jut of the house. The deck is currently 10 to 12 years old and would be <br /> removed. Hayes indicated he would rather work off of good footings and good construction but that they <br /> will not be touching the stucco house. Hayes stated he will take the same plate and bring it out a little <br /> further. <br /> Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 7:02 p.m. <br /> There were no public comments relating to this application. <br /> Chair Thiesse continued the public hearing to February 12. <br /> Thiesse stated this has the same criteria as the last application. <br /> Leskinen stated the only difference is that they are growing the encroachment and not reducing it but <br /> there is no visual impact to the neighbors, which is the reason for the average lakeshore setback. <br /> Leskinen moved,Schwingler seconded,to recommend approval of Application No. 18-3993, <br /> Michael Hayes on behalf of Weldon and Marcia Gilbertson,684 Tonkawa Road,granting of a <br /> variance, based on Staff recommendations. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> 5. #18-3994 DAVID KNAEBLE,3635 TOGO ROAD,PRELIMINARY PLAT,7:03 P.M.— <br /> 7:15 P.M. <br /> David Knaeble,Applicant, was present. <br /> Curtis noted the Planning Commission reviewed this as a sketch plan last September. The applicant is <br /> requesting preliminary plat approval with PRD flexibility for a residential subdivision of the 2.44 acre <br /> property in order to create a total of three lots for single-family homes where one lot currently exists. <br /> The property is currently zoned LR-1C, one family lakeshore residential. A delineated wetland near the <br /> center of the property impacts the building area of the southern two lots. The lots will be served by City <br /> sewer and water. One property would be accessed off of Togo Road where the current home exists and <br /> the two additional lots are proposed to access off of Northern Avenue on the south. It is not known at this <br /> time whether the existing home will remain. <br /> The proposed lots range in size between 0.51 and 0.94 total acres. The lots will be served by City sewer <br /> and water. City Code requires that each sewered lot provide 0.5 acres minimum of contiguous dry <br /> buildable area. The proposed lots meet the acreage requirement of the Code but the acreage is not <br /> contiguous as required. The preliminary plat also reflects additional flexibility being requested for <br /> reduced front yard setbacks for Lots 2 and 3 off of Northern Avenue. The side and rear yard setbacks will <br /> be met and all lots provide the minimum 100-foot lot width measured at the front setback. <br /> A 20-foot right-of-way dedication is shown along both Togo Road and Northern Avenue. Currently <br /> Northern Avenue exists as a 20-foot paved width public road half on the railroad right-of-way and half on <br /> Page 6 of 17 <br />
