Variance Request Î 1313 Mound Trail Administrator Statz stated that the Planning & Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing regarding the item and the motion was 4/1 in favor of granting the request. He explained that the request is to construct an accessory structure in the front yard as defined by the area between right- of-way and house. He stated that the Code in the most conservative way, the variance would be required. He explained that in past permits these have denied. He stated that it was look at as the road used to be on the lake side, garage and houses were flipped, and many factors such as use of common law speaks about lake lots and front being lake side. He stated there was also discussion of the request for size and existing regulations for 200 square feet or 2% of the lot. He stated that some of the plans have shown an overhang to this accessory structure and is not discussed or approved by the Commission. He also stated that a required would be subject to the 35Ó setback for the Accessory Structure. Discussion ensued regarding setting precedence, unique characteristics and granting a variance, Peltier Lake Drive and placement of homes (setback), Mound Trail and placement of homes (setback), existing accessory structure will be removed on the property and they will have an attached garage, when road was moved from lakeside to front of home. Attorney Glaser stated that the front yard and back yards have flipped when the road moved. Where there is water that is the front yard and that was the way people paddled up to their homes. Code conflicts in situations like this the homeowner did not cause this. Attorney Glaser stated that granting a variance is a great way to address this. He stated because of all of the conflicting factors, this situation is unique and granting a variance is the best way to address this. Administrator Statz stated that the flipping of the yards, lot configuration and all of its uniqueness. Definition of Yard in Code is conflicting and avoiding my interpretation of many individuals. Only way to clear up and have on record that it was approved due to being unique. Acting Mayor Koski stated that language needs to be addressed in ordinance regarding yard definitions. Administrator Statz stated that he believes that the three criteria have been met to grant a variance. (Use is reasonable, keeping with the character of the neighborhood and not caused by the homeowner.) Page 7 of 10
