Planning Case 02-15: Berndt - Special Use Permit <br /> <br />Mr. Parrish stated the applicant was requesting a Special Use Permit to construct a <br />boat house on Lake Johanna. He noted the Planning Commission recommended <br />denial of the Special Use Pennit finding the proposed boat house did not further <br />the purpose and intent of Zoning Ordinance Section I (B) (2) "to promote the <br />character of and preserve and enhance the properties and areas within the city <br />including wetlands, ponds and marshes." <br /> <br />Mayor Probst requested the Planning Commission look at the Shoreland <br />Ordinance as it related to boat houses for their comments and recommendations. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated his view on the request was that boat houses were not <br />permitted to have space for human habitation or sanitation facilities.

He stated Mr. and Mrs. Berndt <br />were willing to make changes in the plan in which the boat house would strictly be <br />used as a boat house. He stated Mr. and Mrs. Berndt did not intend to have <br />
