.IIU permit was intended for the family room addition, between the house and the free- standing garage. 5:a, Based on his belief that he could expand his hone toward the lake, as long as he did not cross the vertical plane of the at grade deck closest to the lake, fir. Kadrie began construction of the kitchen addition. ' In July, 1993, Building inspection staff noticed the construction and stopped it until the issue of valid building permits and shoreline setbacks could be resolved (building permits are valid for one year) . 6W Staff's interpretation of the shoreline management ordinance would allow Mr. Kadrie to extend his kitchen only to the limits of the existing first floor deck. It is staff's feeling that extending a new deck beyond this point should be interpreted as increasing a substandard dimension and therefore,, is prohibited by ordinance. Staff further interprets the code to limit further enroachment on the lower level beyond the existing structural wall (the at grade deck is net considered to be an integral structural element) . Mr. adrie's view is that the limits of the lower at grade deck established that point beyond which substandard dimensions cannot be allowed and is asked the Council, as the Board of Zoning Appeal, for an interpretation on this matter. At their meeting of August 23, 1993, the City Council interpreted the provisions of Section 18 of the Roseville zoning code (Shoreland Management ordinance) in a manner that defines the structural wall of the house as that point beyond which construction could not occur without first applying for a variance. 7 10, The Planning commission, 'on a 5-1 vote, moved to recommend approval of a 10 foot 6 inch variance to the shoreland management ordinance for the Kad ie kitchen expansion and to recommend denial of a variance for a deck that would extend closer to the lake then the kitchen addition. Policy objectives: 16 To protect the natural ecology and aesthetic environment of the community through the wise development of shorelands of public waters. Staff Recommendation 10 It is recommended that the City Council approve a 10 Foot 6 inch variance to the Shoreland Management Ordinance for the adrie kitchen expansion and to deny the variance request for the proposed deck that mould extend closer to the lake than the kitchen addition. It is further recommended that the code be interpreted to limit Further encroachment on the lower level beyond the existing structural wall of the house. A building permit for this addition needs to be applied For prior to any further work being completed.
