DELC0788021, 1419 Milwaukee Street. Owner: Holly K Halsted-Smirl 2023 Living Trust. Applicant: Alison Jones. Applicant requests approval to make improvements to the existing boathouse located on the east side of the property Matt Retzak, Bartelt Remodeling, 528 Wells Street, Delafield, WI was present to speak. T h e east boathouse is a wet boathouse and is grandfathered in . Extensive renovations had been made in the past but much of it was not structural. Because the east boathouse is a wet boathouse, the DNR is involved and has approved the project, but they are waiting on confirmation from the city on compliance as a property within the flood plain. Matt said the structural changes to the east boathouse need to be done to prevent it from falling into the lake. Motion by Jim Ellsworth , seconded by Gayle Gaborsky , to recommend t he Plan Commission approve the boathouse improvements subject to the following conditions set by the City Planner : 1. Construction of the boathouse improvements shall not commence until a Certificate of Compliance is issued by the City Planner and a building permit is issued by the Building Inspector. The boathouse plans prepared by Bartelt and reviewed by the L ake Welfare Committee shall be complied with. 2. Construction of the boathouse improvements shall not commence until a Professional Licensed Engineer demonstrates that all provisions of Chapter 16 Floodplain Ordinance have been met. 3. Construction of the boathouse improvements shall not commence until the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has confirmed that the improvements comply with all state and federal requirements. 4.
