Lake Elmo Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use and Zoning No. 9A City Council February 7, 2006 : Shoreland Overlay Variance — 4473 Olson Lake Trail Background Information for February 7, 2006• At its meeting January 23, 2006 the Planning Commission unanimously adopted a recommendation for approval of this application for the renovation and enlargement of this existing house on 8/10 acre fronting Olson Lake. Commissioner Ptacek abstained due to his absence at the prior Commission meeting at which the application was heard and first discussed. As now configured, the application is for a variance from the OHW setback to enable extending the building line of the house resulting in an increase in the area of the house that would encroach on the OHW, but not the horizontal extent of encroachment from the present (9.5 feet into the 100 foot OHW setback). The application was the subject of a Public Hearing and the tabled at the request of the applicant on January 9 when it became apparent that the then -proposed deck encroachments beyond the present building line would not be recommended for approval by the Commission. The applicant requested tabling and waiver of the City's 60 day review period in writing, and the plan came back to the Commission on January 23 without the decks and with 250 square feet less living area. The Commission consensus on January 9 was that the addition of a second story to the house (some of which would be within the OHW setback) was not a concern. The attached Resolution is for approval of the variance as now requested and as recommended for approval by the Conunission, including the Commission's Findings. Action items: 0 f 1 Motion to adopt Resolution #2006- approving a variance to Shoreland OHW setback at 4773 OIson Lake Trail per plans staff dated February 3, 2006, and per the recommendation and findings of the Planning Commission.
