~ permit was intended for the family room addition, between the house and the free standing garage. s. Based on his belief that he could expand his home toward the lake, as long as he did not cross the vertical plane of the at grade deck closest to the lake, Mr. 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). 6. 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 j 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 r further enroachment on the lower level beyond the existing _ _~~ structural wall (the at grade deck is not considered to be an X ~V 1f- integral structural element). Mr. Kadrie' s view is that the N\~~'\if\Y 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. 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 Kadrie kitchen expansion and to recommend denial of a variance for a deck that would extend closer to the lake then the kitchen addition. policv Ob;ectives,: 1. To protect the natural ecology and aesthetic environment of the community through the wise development of shorelands of public waters. Staf~ Recommendation: 1. It is recommended that the City Council approve a 10 foot 6 inch variance to the Shoreland Management Ordinance for the Kadrie kitchen expansion and to deny the variance request for the proposed deck that would 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.
