The impervious surface coverage meets all hardcover location and square footage <br /> restrictions of this chapter and the total square footage of hardcover does not exceed <br /> 25 percent of the entire lot area. <br /> 4. All other zoning district standards can be met. <br /> The applicants' request for a hardcover and average lakeshore setback variances results in the <br /> property's inability to conform to standards 1, 3, &4 above.Therefore, lot width and area <br /> variances are also required in order to develop the property as proposed. <br /> Average Lakeshore Setback Variance (Section 78-1279) <br /> The applicants are proposing to construct the home to conform to all setbacks including the <br /> 84.7' average lakeshore setback as determined by the home to the west at 2465 North Shore <br /> Drive. The plan reflects a raised terrace/patio area which is situated partially within the <br /> previous/existing home footprint. The portion within the existing home footprint qualifies as an <br /> in kind (or less) improvement. However there is a narrow portion which does not qualify.This <br /> elevated terrace shown as the cross-hatched area Exhibit E (the applicants'AS-1 site plan) <br /> encroaches at most approximately 5.5 feet lakeward of the average lakeshore setback line. <br /> Further the terrace is an encroachment due to the applicants'grading plan for the lakeyard <br /> which proposes to balance out the side-sloped yard.The proposed home will have a first floor <br /> elevation of 950.5', 4.5' lower than the first floor of home to the west.As illustrated in the <br /> applicants'AS-3 section view (Exhibit F) looking from the lake,the proposed terrace including <br /> the curb wall sit at about 951.5' which is 42"from the new grade, and 3.5 feet lower than the <br /> first floor of the home to the west. <br /> Lastly, one purpose of the requested IUP is to permit the approximate 315 cubic yards of fill <br /> within the 75-foot setback; a secondary purpose is the establishment of new engineered grade <br /> elevation.The applicants do not wish to modify the grade to result in a taller home than is <br /> allowed, rather,they desire to balance the slopes.The terrace exceeds 42"from existing grades <br /> within the average lakeshore setback as a result. <br /> Hardcover Variance (Section 78-1700) <br /> The current property has a 29.6% hardcover level; including 772 square feet of hardcover in the <br /> 75-foot setback.The applicant is proposing 29.3% hardcover, a 0.3% (176 square foot) <br /> reduction, including removal of all of the existing non-conforming hardcover in the lake yard. <br /> There is a total of 2,320 square feet of driveway proposed, not including the car court area.This <br /> driveway accounts for approximately 16%of the proposed hardcover and 4.74%of the site.The <br /> property has a long narrow "neck"from the shared access outlot to the buildable area of the lot <br /> which may result in an excess of driveway hardcover. <br /> The applicants have attempted to reduce the impact of the home size as they are not <br /> maximizing the size of the home.The proposed structural/building coverage is 1,547 square feet <br /> less than the maximum footprint allowed. They have prepared a number of illustrations to show <br /> how they propose to improve the existing nonconformities on the property,those exhibits are <br /> attached. <br />
