Sponsors: Board of Adjustment Attachments: Appeal 3675 application Appeal 3675 Support Letter 04-28-2016 BOA Staff Report Assistant Zoning Administrator(AZA)Hilbert presented a Staff Report reporting facts of the case. IN FAVOR: Kristine Euclide and Doug Steege, owners, spoke in favor of the variance request. ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: No comments from the ZA were made. OPPOSED: [None. The Chair stated no rebuttal was needed.] Finding of Fact: Existing: • Existing use of property consists of a single family residence and barn,portions of property are located in a conservation easement. Proposed • Applicants propose to remodel a portion of the existing residence, including a second story, and a small expansion of the existing footprint opposite the mapped wetland. Applicants also propose to enc lose the existing barn foundation. Zoning Notes: • 2005—2016 History of appeals of wetland setback is attached. • Chapter 11 requires all structures to be setback at least 75 feet from a wetland boundary. History • Existing house was remodeled and the porch facing the wetlands was enlarged in 1980. • In 2009 the current owners obtained a permit to use the existing barn foundation to construct a storage building. At the time the barn foundation was entirely outside of the required 75 foot setback to wetlands as mapped in the Wisconsin Wetland Inventory. • In 2011 the current owners met with zoning staff to discuss a possible addition to the residence. At the time the ordinance allowed existing residences located within 75 feet of a wetland boundary a one-time increase up to 150%of the existing foundation as long as the addition did not encroach any further towards the wetlands. The applicants did not obtain a permit at this time. • In 2012 Chapter 11 was amended significantly to incorporate changes in NR115 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code. After the change, structures within 75 feet of a wetland boundary were no longer grandfathered and the 150%provision was removed. • In 2013 the Wisconsin Wetland Inventory was remapped to include additional lands on the applicants property. • Violation History: No zoning violation history found.
