M/S/P Mazzara/Armstrong - to direct the City Administrator to write a letter to the Water Safety Committee members suggesting the meeting date of November 19, 1986 and informing them as to the City Council's direction.

Public Hearing : Variance to Setback from Ordinary High Water Mark in a Shoreland District, to Allow Construction of a Deck Extension - Wyn John, 8883 Jane Road North Acting -Mayor Christ opened up the public hearing at 7:40 p.m. in the City Council chambers. Mr. Wyn John would like to construct an extension to an existing deck which is located at the rear of his house. The existing deck is already located within the setback from the Ordinary High Water Mark. The proposed addition would not increase the existing non -conformity, in the sense that the addition would be placed closer to the house than the rest of the deck. FINDINGS OF FACT: 1. No screening lost or added to increase or decrease the impact of the deck construction. 2. The color of the deck is natural cedar. 3. The DNR had no problem with the variance request. 4. It is not a room that will increase the sewage load of the house. 5. The other part of the deck is already completed. 6. Water level should be down next year and then the deck will be closer to the ordinance. 7. It is a safety hazard right now, with the door opening to the deck.
