I , , Shoreline Setback i Variance: Block 162 Division 6 Irondale: South of Prosoect Avenue: Ken In~: Mr. & Mrs. Ingman were present when Assis- tant Planner, Jim Pearson, reported that this request for a shoreline set- back variance is for one block (162) in Division 6 of the Plat of Irondale. A geologists report prepare1 by Jerry Thorsen was discussed. The lot boundary of Block 162 is ab~ut 20 fee~ back from the top of the bluff and the lots are 100 feet deep. I Under the shoreline regulations the setback in this area would be 100 to 1<h feet, Jim Pearson reported and noted that with the setback necessary from the Elston Avenue right-of-way, no area would be left for a building site if that setback were enforced.

The Planning Department recommends a fifty foot setback from the top of the bluff. The hardship in this case is that if a regulation shoreline setback is required, with the setback from the road right-of-way, it would preclude placement of a residence on these lots. A fifty foot setback from the top of the bank would allow about 70 feet of building area on the lot, Jim Pearson concluded. Commissioner Dennison questioned what effect allowing this setback variance would have on placement of homes on adjacent properties in the future. Jim Pearson stated that Block 162 is the highest point on the bluff. He does recommend that two conditions be placed on this variance if granted: 1) Natural vegetation be maintained within 30 feet of the top of the bluff, and 2) Run-off from houses, garages, driveways and other impervious sur- faces be directed away from the .top of the bluff. Jim Pearson also sug- gested that the setback variance, and the conditions for approval be made a part of the plat. Commissioner B. G. Brown moved to approve the setback of fifty feet from the top of the bluff with the two conditions as recommended by the Planning Department. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
