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