Design o/b/o North Shore Meadows LLC, <br />2455 North Shore Drive <br />Variances & Interim Use Permit (IUP) <br />Public Hearing <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br />The new owners of the property have enlisted the architects at Charlie & Co. Design to design a <br />new home on the property. Their goal is to reduce the number of nonconformities to setback and <br />hardcover while designing a functional home for the property. Due to the existing lot size and <br />width, the project requires variances. <br /> <br />The applicants are requesting lot area; lot width; average lakeshore setback; and hardcover <br />variances to support their plans. An Interim Use Permit* (IUP) is also requested due to the total <br />amount of grading activity within 75 feet of the lake. *The recent text amendment (Ordinance No. <br />219) modified how land alterations are handled. This proposed grading activity would have been <br />previously covered under a CUP. <br /> <br /> <br />Application Summary: The applicant is requesting the following in conjunction with <br />redevelopment of the property: <br />1. Lot area variance; <br />2. Lot width variance; <br />3. Average lakeshore setback variance; <br />4. Hardcover variance; and <br />5. An IUP for grading activity within 75 feet of the lake. <br />Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval of the IUP, the <br />average lakeshore setback, lot width and lot area variances as noted. If the planning <br />commission determines there are practical difficulties supporting the hardcover variance an <br />approval recommendation may also be appropriate.
