Applicants Narrative: DESCRIPTION OF LAKE ACCESS USE: LOT 5 BLOCK 1 WOODS OF BALD EAGLE LAKE The proposed owners of this property live nearby, on the west side of Bald Eagle Lake, at 2197 Ash St. They plan to use this property for access to Bald Eagle Lake and access to the recreational watercraft they own. This will be a private dock for a single family. The dock will not be rented or have boat slips for 3rd party use. Parking is not allowed on this portion of Ethan Avenue, so the proposal also includes a driveway and parking stalls for 2 vehicles. The driveway may either be gravel or asphalt….gravel offering the benefit of impervious surface and less impact. Boat/vehicle storage will not be allowed on the property. Lots 3, 4, and 5 Block 1 Woods of Bald Eagle Lake were developed in the late 1990’s as a part of a larger group of single-family lots. City staff has communicated to us that they currently do not prefer to see single family homes on Lots 4 and 5. Both lots would need to be filled, with impacts to the wetlands for homes to be built, similar to how Lots 1, 2, and 3 were approved and built. Lots 4 and 5 were previously platted along with the other lots and provided with city services including water, sewer, electric, and gas which shows a level of city entitlements given back at the time of development. Our proposal offers significantly less impact than potential home construction on these two lots. Lot 4 has already been used for flood plain mitigation to allow for the development of one single family home on Lot 3. The C.U.P. will provide for lake access (dock), with no construction of buildings on the land. Improvements to the property would include a driveway and landscaping. The proposed use of this lot fits the character of the surrounding neighborhood and the character of the waterbody. The dock will be similar to the docks on Lots 1 and 2. The existing homes nearby are separated by wooded areas and natural screening. The only home that will have a clear view of this lot is the future home on Lot 3.
