Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval. History The subject property has a recent history of variances to facilitate redevelopment. Beginning in 2009 the property owner began exploring variances and a grading conditional use permit for reconstruction of a home on the property they had hoped to sell. Variances were granted and expired due to inactivity. In 2012 new approvals consistent with the 2009 approvals were granted, and permits for demolition were issued, though the replacement home was not constructed. In 2014 the owner again requested the same/similar approvals which were granted. The 2014 approvals were extended and are now valid until November of 2017 (see Resolution 6679 attached as part of Exhibit M). Summary The current owner is requesting the following approvals in order to construct a new residence on the property: lot area and lot width; lake setback; hardcover within the 75 -foot setback from the ordinary high water level (OHWL), and average lakeshore setback variances. The owner is also requesting approval of a conditional use permit relating to the amount of grading on the property in excess of 500 cubic yards of disturbance for mitigation of areas below the 1% annual chance floodplain in order to develop the property, and a conditional use permit to allow installation of a full bathroom within the proposed detached garage.

The current footprint (in orange) is situated further back from the lake and oriented on the property for improved lake views by neighbors.
