VOTE: Ayes 5, 0. <br />3. 17-3908 CUBE, INC., 3320 NAVARRE LANE, VARIANCES, 6.41 P.M. — 6:49 P.M. <br />Roman Zhuk, Cube, Inc., was present. <br />Gaffron stated the applicant is requesting lot area and lot width variances in order to take advantage of the <br />Tier 3 hardcover level of 35 percent. The property is located on Navarre Lane. This small lot qualifies <br />for a building envelope without lot area and lot width under the Shoreland variances and the new home on <br />the property meets the 25 percent hardcover limit per the Shoreland regulations. The property owner <br />wishes to be able to add certain hardcover amenities; in this case a deck of unspecified size. Gaffron <br />stated in order to be able to exceed 25 percent up to the 35 percent limit, the lot area and width variances <br />are required. Once the area and width variances are granted, any additional hardcover would be limited to <br />35 percent. <br />The neighborhood consists of single-family homes located on Olive Avenue, Navarre Lane and Bayview <br />Place. In this neighborhood there are approximately 20 homes on single lots, with another half dozen or <br />so on combined lots. The neighborhood consists of lots typically 47-55 feet in width and range in depth <br />from 90 to 160 feet. In the opinion of Staff, a single-family residence and associated amenities on a <br />single lot in this neighborhood will not be inconsi stent with the character of the surrounding <br />neighborhood. <br />The applicant's property had contained a single-family residence for many decades before it was recently <br />replaced with a new home. The ability to have the same type of hardcover amenities as other existing <br />developed properties in the neighborhood would be limited if the area and width variances are not <br />granted. <br />Page 4 of 64 <br />
