Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the <br />property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control? <br />2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter the <br />essential character of the neighborhood? <br />3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the <br />impacts created by the granting of the requested variance(s)? <br />4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br />Planning Staff Recommendation <br />If the Planning Commission identifies practical difficulties supporting the new screen porch <br />encroachment lakeward of the average lakeshore setback, a motion for approval would be <br />appropriate. However, Planning staff recommends denial of the 75 -foot setback and hardcover <br />encroachment as neither variance are supported by practical difficulties. <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A. <br />Application <br />Exhibit B. <br />Practical Difficulties Documentation Form <br />Exhibit C. <br />Existing Survey <br />Exhibit D. <br />Proposed Survey <br />Exhibit E. <br />Staff -Annotated "Proposed" Survey <br />Exhibit F. <br />Violation Letter <br />Exhibit G. <br />Public Comments <br />Exhibit H. <br />Submitted Hardcover Calculations <br />Exhibit 1. <br />Site Photos <br />Exhibit J. <br />Aerial Photos <br />Exhibit K. <br />Property Owners List <br />Exhibit L. <br />Plat Map <br />
