He is requesting a 48 foot lakeshore variance and a 5 percent lot coverage variance for this project. Deb Garross presented the information as per memo of May 16, 1991. The property in question is a substandard lot and the construction planned would not be out of character with the neighborhood. The home was built under the jurisdiction of Credit River Township and has a legal non - conforming status. The hardship is not caused by the applicant or the City of Prior Lake. The 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 property owners.

Comments from the Commissioners were all concurred with Staff's recommendation. 4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake Minnesota 55372 / Ph.

Terris Sandbeck presented the information a per memo of May 16, 1991. The lot in question is approximately 27,600 square feet and has a steep slope covered with trees and vegetation. The adjacent lots have accessory structures that may have been constructed before annexation for the area or under the Policy Statement on Storage Sheds on Lake Lots which is no longer in effect due to the adoption of Prior Lake Zoning Ordinance 83 -6. This Ordinance does not permit accessory structures on residential lots unless they conform to setback requirements and are no longer permitted as conditional uses. A letter from the DNR was received opposing the structure at the location requested but would consider the structure if built 50 feet from the 904 countour. Staff is concerned that granting a variance of an extreme nature could be construed as establishing a precedent without the guidance of appropriate zoning ordinance standards and it would be difficult to deny future lakeshore variances. The Planning Commission may wish to consider review of an amendment to the Shoreland Management Ordinance to establish standards for this type of structure. Discussion by the Commissioners and Staff followed on; establishing a policy, hardship ordinance not in effect at present time, recommend forwarding to City Council for consideration, no objection to type of structure, language in 1979 Policy statement, floodplain construction, and consider tabling item.
