The Krafts request a variance with respect to the deck canopy and an administrative review of the interpretation that the turf putting green constitutes a "recreational facility." Deck Canopy The Krafts appeal the order issued by the Village dated December 2, 2020, which instructs the removal of a canopy installed on their shorefront deck, and request a variance to Section 6.7(4)(ii) of the Village Zoning Code (the "Code") to permit the installation and maintenance of the canopy. The deck constitutes a "legal non-conforming stnicture" under Section 6.5(4)(a)(i) of the Code because it lies witMn 75 feet of the ordinary high-water mark. Section 6.7(4)(ii) of the Code provides that a legal non-conforming stnucture may only be modified during its lifetime so long as the modification does not increase the height of the structure, among other restrictions. The Village determined that the canopy increased the height of the deck in violation of Section 6.7(4)(ii) of the Code. Turf Putting Green The Krafts appeal an order issued by the Village dated December 2, 2020, which instructs the removal of a turf putting green on their shorefront. The Village concluded that the turf putting green constitutes a "recreational facility" within the meaning of Section 6.3(37) of the Code, which is anything which (i) exceeds one hundred square feet, (ii) is constructed or erected and requires permanent location on or in the ground, and (iii) is primarily used for recreational purposes, Phone262-367-2239 www.chenequa.org including without, limitation, swimming pools and tennis couits. Section 6.5(4)(a)(i) of the Code provides that no stiucture may be erected so that the minimum distance measured over the contour of the ground between the lake frontage and nearest point of the structure or any projection thereof shall be less than seventy-five (75) feet. The Village deterinined that installation of the turf putting green violated Section 6.5(4)(a)(i) of the Code. Public Comment Adjouin the Public Hearing 1.
