April 13, 1984 TO: City Council FROM: Jim Andre SUBJECT: Richard Robbins' concerns regarding his contacts with City staff. I have attached a letter from Mr. Richard Robbins, who owns the property at 2764 Victoria, regarding his dealings with the City staff over the past six-month period. After reading the letter, it is clear there were several instances of confusion and misunderstanding between City staff and Mr. Robbins. Mr. Robbins' contact with the City was initiated when he proposed to construct a detached garage on his lakeshore property at 2764 Victoria. The proposal required it building permit under the Lakeshore Zoning Ordinance, necessitating a meeting with the planning staff. An examination of a survey of the property showed the lot contains three principal structures. The City Code permits one principal structure on a single-family lot. The Planner indicated a Planned Unit Development was required to bring ti►e site into conformance with the City Code and to enable the construction of the proposed garage. Prior to Air. Robbins' application for PUD relb hing the Planning Commission, he requested his application be withdrawn. It 'was then discovered that footings for the garage had been poured and several courses of block had been laid. The Council directed that the footings and block be removed. � t-If sent a letter dated 11/16/83 (attached) to Mr. Robbins directing that the garage footings and foundation be removed within 60 days, unless he reinitiated the process required for issuance of a building permit. The major reason for Mr. Robbins' withdrawal of t-.is application was the requirement that an additional 10 feet of right-of-way be dedicated along Victoria as a condition of the PUD. The Robbins' property currently contains a duplex located partially in the Victoria right-of-way. An additional 10-foot dedication would place a large portion of the duplex in the right-of-way. Air. Robbins expressed concern regarding the loss of the duplex in the event of the additional right-of-way dedication. Staff advised Mr. Robbins that an agreement could be worked out regarding his continued use of the duplex.
