PUBLIC HEARING - VARIANCE TO SETBACK FROM OHWM AND SHORELAND APPLI Acting Mayor Armstrong opened the public hearing at 7:36 p.m. It was noted that the notice of public hearing was published in the legal newspaper and the effected property owners were notified. It was noted by the council that the existing boathouse does not meet the 100' setback from the OHWM, but the addition of the proposed deck would not increase the non -conformity of the boathouse, which has been in existance since 1940. There were no residents at this public hearing to speak for or against this variance request and the public hearing was closed at 7:42 p.m. Moe/Graves - To grant a variance to the setback from the OHWM for the construction of a 12 x 16 foot wood deck to the south side of Pierre's Pier at 2880 Lake Elmo Ave. contingent upon approval from the DNR; as the applicant has proven a hardship in that the building is existing; the building is already non -conforming, and the addition of the deck will not increase the non -conformity of the building.

There approval is based on there being no further requests for variances, or requests to screen in or enclose the deck. 6A PUBLIC HEARING 43RD & KIMBRO STREET IMPROVEMENT Acting Mayor Armstrong opened the public hearing at 7:45 p.m. It was noted that the notice of public hearing was published in the legal newspaper and the effected property owners were notified.
