Variance and Nonconforming Use Request – Big Louie’s Restaurant Planning Commission Report; 11-20-18 Page 8 (cont.) 3. The existing building has been granted multiple variances including but not necessarily limited to: a. September 26, 1972: allowing a setback of 20 feet from Highway 88; b. November 24th, 1987: allowing a setback of 13 feet from Highway 88; c. November 24, 1987: allowing a 15-foot variance from Long Lake Road. 4. The proposed addition would replace the existing solarium with an enclosed room matching the remainder of the facility from the inside and out. 5. The footprint for the proposed addition will match the footprint of the solarium previously approved by variance in 1987, and the only expansion within the setback will be in an upward direction. 6. The proposed improvement is in harmony with the comprehensive plan as it will enhance the building and will not impact surrounding properties. 7. The request is reasonable as it will not expand the existing nonconformity previously authorized by variance towards adjacent rights-of-way. 8. The landowner was not responsible for the initial construction of the solarium within the setback. 9. The proposed improvements will not have a negative impact on the essential character of the locality. Recommended Conditions: 1. The footprint of the new addition shall match the existing solarium footprint, and all other aspects of the addition shall be in compliance with other building and zoning code requirements. 2. The applicant shall obtain all necessary permits and approvals from the City and other applicable entities with jurisdiction prior to any construction. 3. The variance shall expire if a building permit is not applied for within one year from the date of resolution, or the variance shall expire. 4. The face of the awning on the south side of the building shall be repaired by replacing the missing panel(s) facing County Road D. cc: Chad Johnson, Applicant/Main contact
