The City Council will be asked to make a formal decision regarding the application under Agenda Item 10C. Background In September of 2020, Kye Samuelson (“Applicant”) requested a Variance in order to construct an accessory structure near the shoreline of 3493 Siems Court (“Subject Property”) within the Shore Impact Zone of Lake Johanna. The Applicant requested a variance to build a 120 square foot accessory storage structure that encroached eighteen (18) inches into the Shore Impact Zone of Lake Johanna. The proposed structure exceeded the eight (8) foot height limitation at ten (10) feet, six (6) inches. The rationale for the variance was that the structure would be used for the storage of modern day recreational water equipment and the hardship was due to the rear yard topography. The Subject Property is zoned R-1, Single Residential District, is located in the Shoreland Management District, and is guided as Low Density Residential on the Land Use Plan. $WWDFKPHQW%
