HomeMy WebLinkAboutmemo re meeting with homeowner-1988 To: Street File - 1705 Concordia Street From: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator Date: March 30, 1988 Subject: Meeting With Owner I met today in the of f ice with Tom Sachs who owns a cottage at the above referenced address. According to the survey which he brought in and which we have on file, this cottage is entirely within the 0-75' setback zone and in fact is approximately 30 ' from the shoreline. Mr. Sachs questioned whether is was feasible to add a screen porch onto that cottage over the existing stone patio. I explained to him that that would take a variance and that while he has the right to apply for such a variance, it would be inconsistent and unusual for the Council to grant such a magnitude of variance as would be required. We also discussed the potential of moving that cottage to meet the 75' setback line and the need to review an average lakeshore setback. In addition, we discussed the location of the driveway near or over the the lot corner on either side, and discussed the location of the existing sewer which may affect building on the street end of the lot. Mr. Sachs' final comment was that for the time being he will likely obtain a permit for residing and replacing a few windows and minor interior remodeling and is not interested at this time in making a full fledged application with a relatively slim chance of approval.
