PUBLIC HEARING
Variance Request to the Recreational Beachlot Ordinance, Lot 37,
Shore Acres, Sunny Slope Homeowner's Association
Public Present
Steve Burke Sunny Slope Homeowner's President
Olsen stated that the applicant is requesting a conditional use
permit for a recreational beachlot. She noted that the Planning
Commission reviewed the conditional use permit request on
February 26, 1986 and unanimously recommended denial of the use
as proposed. She stated that the City Council will review the
conditional use permit request on March 17, 1986.
Olsen stated that the applicant is also requesting the following
three variances to the Recreational Beachlot Ordinance:
1. Variance to Section 7.04 (9 [F]) to allow one seasonal
dock on a recreational beachlot having a width of less
than 100 feet.
2. Variance to Section 7.04 (9 [D]) to allow the overnight
storage of four watercraft.
3. Variance to Section 7.04 (9 [A]) to allow a structure on
a recreational beachlot.
Steve Burke stated that this was not a new issue. He stated that
the Sunny Slope Homeowner's Association intended on using the
Board of Adjustments and Appeals Minutes

property as either a beachlot or a single family residence and
that they would prefer a recreational beachlot. He also stated
that he felt the neighbors would prefer a recreational beachlot.
He stated the lot has riparian rights for five boats with
launching and overnight storage.
Watson asked if they could have the dock without a single family
residence on the lot?
Olsen answered that a dock is not a principle use and would
require a single family residence.
Burke stated that they are willing to give up the right for a
single family residence for a more restrictive use. The con-
ditional use permit for a recreational beachlot puts restrictions
on the property.
Geving asked Burke if there was anything in the documents when
they bought the property that stated they had rights to use it as
a beachlot or gave Sunny Slope rights to use the lake?
Burke stated no.
Geving stated his own preference to have the property used as a
single family residence. He stated that the proposed building
(boat house) is new to the previous requests.
Burke stated that they are asking for everything now rather than
coming in again.
Geving stated that the three variances complicated the issue. He
asked if the applicant understood that the Board of Adjustments
would not act on this tonight, that it would be passed on to the
City Council.
Burke stated that he understood.
Geving moved, seconded by Watson, to close the public hearing.
All voted in favor and the motion carried.
Geving moved, seconded by Watson, to pass the proposal on to the
City Council for their decision.
Geving moved, seconded by Watson, to approve the February 24,
1986 minutes as written. All voted in favor and the motion
carried.
Watson moved, seconded by Geving, to adjourn the meeting at 7:00
p.m. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
