Summary

Roll-call approvals: area variance for a converted Lakeshore Drive building (conditions applied), 16-foot lean-to variance (vegetative buffer required), north-lot variance (~42 feet), and a front-porch variance for Barb Goldstein. Staff to file decisions and conditions.

At this meeting the Zoning Board of Appeals took the following formal actions:

1) Approved an area variance permitting an existing Lakeshore Drive building to remain despite current setback requirements; approval included stipulations (no added exterior lighting or paved driveway; preserve vegetative screening; no conversion to a short-term rental without further approvals).

2) Approved an area variance for a 16-foot lean-to (equipment storage) on an existing barn, conditioned on preserving the existing vegetative buffer between the structure and the lake.

3) Approved a requested area variance for a north-lot application (distance discussed as 42 feet) after applying the five-factor test.

4) Approved an area variance to allow a front porch for applicant Barb Goldstein; the board recorded the vote by roll call and directed staff to file the written decision.

Staff will prepare and file written decisions for each variance; any future changes of use or enclosure that alter the approved footprints will require additional approvals and remain subject to code enforcement.
