CITY OF PRIOR LAKE REED'S ISLAND INC., - VARIANCE JUNE 16, 1988 SUBJECr: 4b consider a 63' foot lakeshore variance for Heed's Island. The applicant, Larry Gensmer, has submitted a proposal to build a 36 x 40 foot seasonal cabin on the island as per attached survey. The island is owned by some 25 different individuals. The proposal is that all owners will be required to enter into and follow the stipulations of the attached Anchor Point Yacht Club Association Rules and Regulations. STAFF ANALYSIS: Reed's Island is located on lower Prior Lake between the Points of Martinson's Island, Breezy Point and Candy Cove. The island is unsewered and is zoned R- 1 /S-D. The request is to build a seasonal cabin on the westerly pert of the island. The required structure setback is 100 feet for unsewered areas of General Development Ickes. The proposal is to locate the cabin 37 feet from the 904 contour which requires a 63' foot lakeshore variance. Attached find a survey, structural plans and association rules and regulations. The proposal consists of a 36 x 40 structure which will be placed as per survey. Comments from the DNR have indicated that the structure must be constructed on fill so that the lowest floor (including basement) is at or above the regulatory flood protection elevation of 909. In addition, the finished fill must extend at least 15 feet out from the structure in all directions. When this application was first submitted, a septic system was proposed for the site. The setback requirements for septic systems are 75' feet from the 904 which cannot be met as originally proposed. The DNR has indicated that the septic tem must also be elevated above the flood elevation and recommends that state S PCA requirements be adhered to. Due to the topographical constraints of the island, the applicant has amended his request whereby a gas incinerator toilet system is proposed instead of a traditional septic system. The proposed structure indicates a kitchen facility. The disposal of waste water generated by the kitchen use has not been addressed in this application. Also, the survey submitted indicates only the exterior walls of the structure. However, the structural plans indicate two screen doors and deck additions on both the north and south sides of the structure. The variance requested is for the structure only, no attempt has been made to indicate the deck additions on the survey. Both issues pertaining to waste water and the deck additions should be addressed by the applicant prior to approval of this variance. (612) 447.4230 0 DAKOTA STREET S.E. PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 55372 STAFF TON_ The recommendation from the DNR is attached to the agenda packet. There is really no alternative location on the island for a structure to be placed which will meet £load plain requirements. The structure will be seasonal in nature and has been proposed in the most logical location of the island. Staff recamrends approval subject to the following conditions: 1. Floodplain Ordinance elevation and fill requirements be satisfied. 2. Waste water situation pertaining to the proposed kitchen be addressed to the satisfaction of staff. 3. Applicant redesign the location of the proposed decks in a manner which minimizes the amount of variance required. 4. A copy of the association agreements be placed on file with City Hall. S. Erosion control measures be implemented immediately upon removal of arr vegetation or ground cover and natural vegetation be restored immediately upon coWletion of construction.
