Deck revision and garage demo at 108 North Lakeshore continued pending floodplain/plan review
Summary
An architect said deck alterations and stormwater work at a Brookfield lakeshore property remain within the existing footprint but will need floodplain and wetlands coordination; the commission continued the new application for two weeks.
Chad Nearing, the project architect for owners Ryan and Jody Cascade of Brookfield, described a basement renovation, a slightly reconfigured deck footprint and two small stormwater features for 108 North Lakeshore Drive. Nearing said the deck change would remain largely in the existing footprint with only a minor corner extending outward and that stormwater management will require modest excavations for two reinforced stone features.
Commissioners and staff noted the site lies within mapped floodplain/wetland soils; Nearing said the owners are pursuing a FEMA LOMA application to revise mapping. The commission discussed construction means, the expected short duration for any excavator on the site, and the need to limit hydraulic‑fluid or other contamination during moved equipment operations. Because the application was filed as new business, the commission continued the item to the next scheduled meeting for further review and any required coordination with planning and zoning.
Why it matters: lakeshore properties in mapped floodplain or wetland soils commonly require coordination with floodplain mapping and wetlands review to confirm allowable work and setbacks; the LOMA process may affect the permits needed.
What comes next: the applicant will provide additional documentation, and staff will coordinate whether a wetlands application is required once LOMA and planning/zoning determinations are available.
