My answer partially depends on 2 things:
1. The size of the pool; and
2. Whether or not it's considered a lakeshore lot or a property abutting a wetland.
The property is zoned RR-1B which has 50'front and rear&30'side setback requirements for principal structures. A pool
over 1000 sf must meet the principal structure setbacks. A pool sized between 750 s.f. —999 s.f. a 15'setback is
required. But
The south basin of French Lake is classified as a Natural Environment lake by the DNR which has a 150'structural setback
requirement from the 930.0'OHWL elevation. It appears that there is one adjacent lakeshore lot to the north...
determination of the average lakeshore setback line is based on the distance of the property to the north from the
OHWL.
Where was the pool to be located? East of the house?
I'm sorry that I haven't looked to see if we have a survey in the file. We're pretty overwhelmed right now dealing with
residents with water, slope failures, etc but I wanted to respond to your email quickly.... therefore I'm responding to your
email during tonight's City Council meeting. :(
I did attach a map I created which has a topography overlay.... it doesn't look to me, based on this map, that the 930.0
OHWL lake elevation reaches the property... but a survey would be necessary to more accurately make this
determination.
The City's wetland setback is 35'from the delineated wetland edge for all structure and hardcover— OR— 10'feet from a
required or established wetland buffer (whichever is greater). If it's a wetland the average lakeshore setback doesn't
apply.
The first step is to determine if the property is considered lakeshore or wetland.
Hope this was of some help to you...

Melanie,
I'm looking at options for a possible pool location on this site.
What are the setback requirements SE corner of the house,where the French Lake wetland is?
Thanks
