In addition to replacing the existing retaining walls, the <br />applicant wishes to increase the height of the wall in some areas to provide additional <br />rear yard areas for the adjacent dwelling units. <br />Because the retaining wall lies within the 25 foot shoreland impact zone of Round Lake <br />(and is to be completely reconstructed), the processing of a setback variance is <br />necessary. <br />The subject property is zoned R -3, Multiple Family Residential, and was approved as a <br />Planned Unit Development about 20 years ago. <br />Attached for reference: <br />Exhibit A - Site Location <br />Exhibit B - Site Plan <br />
