ITEM II - LOUIS STASSEN - VARIANCE Louis Stassen, representing Stassen Construction Inc., 16617 Creekside Circle, is proposing to build a single family home on on the southerly part of Lots 11 & 12, Block 31, Spring Lake Townsite. The proposed variances requested are, a 2,900 square foot lot area variance, a 2 foot north side yard, and a 30 foot south front yard variance County Road 12. Deb Garross presented the information as per memo of May 2, 1991. The subiect lot is a lot of record created in 1981, however, the subdivision occurred prior to the adoption of the current Zoning Ordinance and Shoreland Management regulations thereby causing a hardship to the property owner. The applicant is prepared to sign the necessary easements for drainage and sanitary sewer line easement for the property owner of Tract B. DNR stated they had no objections to the variance. Brad Larson, Scott County Engineer, felt the garage should be moved to the north side of the home to move the driveway further from CSAH 12. A phone call was received from Margerite Jorgenson, 16898 Dewitte Street, she had no objections to the application. Recommendation from Staff is to approve the variances as requested with the conditions as listed in the memo. 4629 Dakota St. S.E.. Prior lake.

Mr. Olson proposes to remove an existing second story deck and replace it with a 12 foot deck and walk out porch addition to the southeasterly part of the existing home. See attached materials for reference to this application. The applicant requests the Planning Commission to approve a 48' foot Lakeshore variance and 58 percent lot coverage variance in order to construct the deck and porch additions as proposed. PREVIOUS PROPOSALS: The existing single family home was built in 1946, presumably under the jurisdiction of Credit River Township. The structure has been renovated three times since 1976. Planning Department records indicate that an administrative lot split was approved in 1985 which added the westerly part of Lot 48, Conroy's Bay to the subject site. The existing home is located 39 feet from the 904. The existing deck is a 10' x 18' foot second story deck which is in disrepair and was built with questionable construction techniques. PHYSIOGRAPHY: The lot is a Lakeshore property containing 6,637 square feet. The walk out elevation of the home is at elevation 909.14 which is consistent with flood plain management requirements. The walk out elevation is located approximately eleven feet above the current lake elevation of 898. The homes in this neighborhood have utilized a series of retaining walls and landscape features to accommodate home construction that is within close proximity of the Lakeshore. ADJACENT USES: T eA — adjacent properties are fully developed with single family homes and older cabins, some of which have been renovated. The property to the north of the subdivision contains a wetland area 4629 Dakota St. S.E. Prior Lake. Minnesota 55372 ; Ph. (612) 4474230 / Fax (612) 4474245 and is currently undeveloped. Conroy Street is an unimproved gravel road. The lots within Conroy's Bay are considered to be substandard by current Zoning Code requirements. The lots are shallow and in this case the lot depth measures approximately 92 feet. Current setback requirements would render the subject site non - buildable because of the shallow depth of the lot. DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY: T e su 7ec site consists of 6,637 square feet which is zoned R -1 Urban Residential and S -D Shoreland District. The lakeshore setback requirement is 75 feet. The maximum allowable coverage is 308 percent within the Shoreland District. The applicant is requesting approval of a 58 percent coverage variance and a 48' foot lakeshore setback variance. The applicant plans to sod the southerly part of tha lot with the exception of a five foot wide walkway which will be constructed with landscape timbers and brick pavers. RECOMMENDATION The recommendation from staff is to approve the 48 foot lakeshore variance and 58 percent lot coverage variance as requested, subject to the condition that appropriate erosion control mechanisms, as required by staff, be implemented immediately upon issuance of the variance. The recommendation from the DNR is also to approve the variances as requested. See attached letter dated May 2, 1991. The hardship in this case is not caused by the applicant nor the City of Prior Lake. The property was subdivided in 1926 into lots which do not conform to current Zoning standards. In addition, the home that was built in 1941 is located in a building envelope that has a legal non - conforming status. The proposed deck and porch are not of excessive size and will provide the applicants the opportunity to enjoy lakeshore living in a similar manner as other riparian homeowners. The variances requested will not, in staff's opinion, be detrimental to the health and welfare of the community and would observe the spirit and intent of the Ordinance.

PURPOSE OF HEARING: To consider a variance application for Dean Olson. SUBJECT SITE LOCATION: 6412 Conroy Street Lot 47 S Part of Lot 48, Conroy's Bay. REQUESTED ACTION: The applicant proposes to remove an existing second story deck and replace it with a 12 foot deck with a porch to be built adjacent to the basement walkout. See attached survey for reference. The required lakeshore setback is 75 feet measured from the 904 contour of the lake of Prior Lake. The applicant proposes to locate the deck 27 feet from the 904 contour which would require a 48 foot lakeshore variance. In addition, the maximum allowable lot coverage is 30% percent. The proposed deck and porch addition would result in 35% Percent of the lot being covered by impervious surface, which requires a 5% percent lot coverage variance. If you desire to be heard in reference to this matter, you should attend this meeting. Oral and written comments will be accepted by the Planning Commission.

Given the proximity to the 904' contour of structures on adjoining properties, it is reasonable to grant the requested variance. The 35% lot coverage represents 5% more than is normally permitted, and 10% more than the new shoreland rules allow. I note the retaining wall at the 904' contour. The applicant should be advised that removal, replacement, or repairs to the wall below the 904' contour require DNR permit.

WHITING, 14897 MANITOU ROAD ITEM: VARIANCE PRESENTER: TERRIE SANDBECK PUBLIC HEARING: YES X NO DATE: MAY 16, 1991 SITE ANALYSIS HISTORY /BACKGROUND: The Planning Department has received a variance application from Evans Whiting at 14897 Manitou Read. The applicant is requesting a lakeshore variance to construct a 7 x 16 foot storage building near the lakeshore. This building would be used to store sailboards and assembled sails when not in use. The construction of this storage facility would alleviate the need for Mr. Whiting to carry his sailboards and sails up the steep grade of his lot to his home for storage. PREVIOUS PROPOSALS: There are no records of any previous variances granted for the subject property. PHYSIOGRAPHY /EXISTING DEVELOPMENT: The lot contains approximately 27,600 square feet and is very deep. It is approximately 100 feet wide at both Manitou Road and at the lakeshore, but it measures almost 270 feet at its deepest point. The Whiting home is situated in a relatively flat portion of the lot, 25 feet from the front property line at Manitou road. However, the rear portion of the lot contains a 62 foot drop in 120 feet of distance. This steep slope is covered by trees and natural vegetation. Steps and a path negotiating the distance to and from the lakeshore have been constructed to assist in a descent to the lake. A retaining wall has been installed near the lakeshore to support and maintain the grade. The proposal is to construct a 16 by 7 foot storage structure in the 19 feet of area between the retaining wall and the 904 contour. However, since there is a roof over a portion of the deck, the area that will require a variance is 16 by 10 feet, placing the structure 9 feet from the 904 contour, and requiring a a 66 foot variance to the lakeshore setback. 4629 Dakota St. SE- Poor Lake, Minnesota 55372 Ph. 16121 44 Fax (612) 447 4245 ADJACENT USES: The lots adjacent to the subject site are developed with single family, residential homes. Both lots abutting the site are similar in size and topography to the applicant's lot, and both have accessory structures near the lakeshore. These structures may have been constructed prior to the annexation of the area into the Prior Lake City limits, or allowed under the Policy Statement on Storage Sheds on Lake Lots that was adopted on June 27, 1979. This policy is no longer in effect, however, due to the adoption of Prior Lake Zoning Ordinance 83 -6. DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY: The lot is zoned R -1 Urban Residential, and S -D Shoreland District. The required setbacks are 75 feet from the 904 contour, 25 feet from the front property line, and 10 feet from the side yard line. RECOMMENDATION: The recommendation from staff is to deny the variance application as submitted. Although the applicant stated that the structure would be built according to the Policy Statement on Storage Sheds on Lake Lots, Zoning Ordinance 83 -6 supersedes this policy. This policy authorized the Planning Director to issue conditional use permits for the erection of storage sheds if certain criteria were met. The Planning Director no longer has this authority. The Zoning Ordinance requires that applications for conditional use permits be brought before the Planning commission and City Council. Zoning Ordinance 83 -6 does not permit accessory structures on residential lots unless they conform to setback restrictions; and they are no longer permitted as conditional uses. A 66 foot variance to the 75 foot lakeshore setback would place the structure only 9 feet from the 904 contour. This is an extreme variation from the Planning Commission's tendency to approve variances of a maximum 508 of the required setback. In addition, the proposed structure would be located within the floodplain. if this were approved, the building would have to be constructed in compliance with the floodproofing requirements of the State Building Code. Although staff understands the desire to eliminate a steep climb while carrying a sailboard and the assembled sails, we feel that allowing a structure to be constructed at this time may set a negative precedent for future applications. Staff is concerned that granting a variance of such an extreme nature could be construed as establishing a policy without the benefit of a comprehensive analysis of the situation. There are no ordinance standards which apply to this situation. Hardship has traditionallv been defined in terms of substandard lots or setbacks established by legal non - conforming structures. in this case, the lot is very large. Although there are topographic considerations, there have been no variances granted prior to their application which have allowed structures within such close proximity to the ordinary high water mark (904). If this variance is granted, staff is concerned that it would be difficult to deny future lakeshore variances for decks, sheds, or any similar type of structure proposed. The Planning commission may wish to consider review of an amendment to the Shoreland Management Ordinance to establish standards for this type of structure. A section of the Department of Natural Resources Model Shoreland Ordinance referencing water oriented accessory structures is attached to this report. If this ordinance, or one similar to it, were to be adopted by the city, accessory structures would be permitted within the 75 foot lakeshore setback if they met established criteria. The Planning Commission may want to schedule the consideration of such an ordinance in the near future.
