Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval. Background Structural improvements must meet all required setbacks; on lakeshore properties this includes the 75' setback and the average lakeshore setback. The average lakeshore setback line is determined by a straight line drawn between the most lakeward structural portions of two adjacent/neighboring homes. Based on the neighboring home locations, the home on the subject property is entirely lakeward of the average lakeshore setback line. The applicants have applied for an average lakeshore setback variance in order to conduct structural improvements to the upper level on the lake side of their home ahead of the average lakeshore setback line. The proposal includes construction of a 780 square foot expansion over the existing garage within the existing footprint of the home. A 6' x 7.5 portion of the new 2 n1 floor area is proposed to bump out over the existing deck, however structural coverage and hardcover levels will not change.
