<br />Wayne Anderson <br />September 27. 1994 <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />DNR <br /> <br />I have discussed this request with Area Hydrologist Dan Lais. Mr. <br />Lais mentioned that because the existing home is already at variance, <br />any further encroachment would have to be a "reasonable" request. <br />The Anderson's are proposing to extend the deck an additional twelve <br />(12) feet closer to Pintail Pond. It is the DNR's opinion that this is a <br />reasonable request, however, the DNR is concerned about the number <br />of enclosed structures (such as the three season porch and screened <br />porch in terms of a visual impact from the pond itself). The existing <br />structure and septic system setback is one hundred, fifty (150) feet <br />from the ordinary high water mark of the wetland. With the deck <br />addition, the home will be located fifty-eight (58) feet from the <br />ordinary high water roark, therefore, a variance of ninety-two (92) feet <br />will be required for the structure. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The DNR is concerned that the home, septic system, and proposed deck <br />are all within the "shore impact zone." The shore impact zone is <br />defined as a sensitive area located between the ordinary high water <br />mark and fifty percent (50%) of the structure setback. Therefore, the <br />shore impact zone for this lake is seventy-five (75) feet along the entire <br />pond. It is the DNR's objective to minimize the impacts within this <br />area. In order to limit the visual impacts of the proposed request, the <br />DNR is recommending that only one of the proposed enclosed <br />structures be allowed with this request. Mr. Anderson did indicate <br />that the three season porch was a "future project." Therefore, the <br />proposed screened porch could be used until the three season porch is <br />constructed. At that time, the DNR is requesting the screened porch <br />be removed. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of a ninety-two (92) foot variance from the <br />ordinary high water mark of Pintail .Pond for the existing structure <br />and proposed deck and a one hundred, thirteen (113) foot variance <br />from the ordinary high water mark for the septic system based on the <br />following findings: <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />LITERAL ENFORCEMENT FOR THE ORDINANCE <br />WOULD CAUSE UNNECESSARY HARDSHIP BY <br />NOT ALLOWING THE APPLICANT TO <br />CONSTRUCT A DECK IN A REASONABLE <br />LOCATION ON THE PARCEL. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />anderson. planning <br />
