He asked whether the screening approval could be deferred to staff. Mr. Lynch stated that the Council had determined in a past planning case which items could be subject to staff approval in the future. He added that it might be inconsistent with that decision to allow staff approval in different applications. Councilmember Aplikowski stated that the Council could be specific with regard to the required screening, adding that nothing would be allowed by staff which was not contained in the approval. MOTION: Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Grant seconded a motion to approve Planning Case #00-31, Planned Unit Development Amendment for 1887 Gateway Boulevard for the addition of a make-up air unit and chiller condenser, as shown in the applicant's submittal, with the following conditions: I. Screening of the make-up air unit and chiller condenser, as well as those units approved in Planning Case #00-17a, must be constructed of opaque colored webbed fencing (materials as agreed on with staff) of a color to match the building and built to a height equal to the equipment being screened.

The addition onto the house is an additional 229 square feet. However, the size of the deck and steps decreases by 172 square feet and the patio area decreases by 219 square feet. Overall, the construction reduces the footprint of the house. The setback, determined by the DNR and adopted by the City, from the ordinary high water mark ofKarth Lake (934.95) is 75'. It appears that a number of homes along Karth Lake are unable to meet this setback as they currently exist. Minnesota Rules 6120.3200 states that lakes classified as "general development" (Karth Lake) should have a structure setback of 75' from the ordinary high water level for unsewered lots and 50' for sewered lots.
