5. Old Business:
Ae
Case #97-025 Consider an Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance pertaining
to the conversion of existing decks not meeting required setbacks to three season
porches. (Continued)
Planning Coordinator Jane Kansier presented the staff report dated May 27, 1997.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider this text amendment on April
14, 1997. At that time, the Commission continued consideration of the amendment until
May 27, 1997. The proposed amendment would allow the conversion of existing decks
which do not meet the required setbacks to a three season porch. This amendment was
initiated by the Council on March 17, 1997, in response to an appeal of a Planning
Commission decision to deny a variance request for a reduced lakeshore setback. The
variance involved the conversion of an existing deck to a three season porch. At the same
time, the Council initiated an amendment to the required setback from the Ordinary High
Water Mark.
MN052797.DOC 1
The Planning Commission originally tabled action on this item since it was related to the
amendment which reduced the required setback from the Ordinary High Water Mark.
This amendment is much more far reaching than the provision allowing the replacement
of existing decks. Therefore, the staff recommended denial of this amendment. If the
Planning Commission finds the amendment is appropriate, staff recommended the
additional language suggested by the DNR be included.
Comments from the Commissioners:
Vonhof:
· No change from the original proposal.
· Agreed with Staff.
Commissioners Kuykendall, Stamson and Criego concurred.
MOTION BY STAMSON, SECOND BY CRIEGO, TO RECOMMEND TO CITY
COUNCIL DENIAL OF THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 5-4-
1 B OF THE PRIOR LAKE CITY CODE AND AMENDING SECTION 4.1 B OF THE
PRIOR LAKE ZONING ORDINANCE 83-6.
Vote taken signified ayes by all. MOTION CARRIED.
