These <br />modifications included reducing the side yard setback for non -conforming lots, and raising the <br />structural coverage limit to 20% from the previous 15% of lot area. During the discussion of <br />raising the structural coverage to 20%, there was concern that this would trigger increased <br />requests for hardcover. While the correlation between structural and hardcover limits is not <br />necessarily linear, there does seem to be an opportunity to reduce the amount of hardcover to <br />fall within prescribed limits. <br />Rear Setback (78-350) <br />The applicant is proposing the place the principle structure 24.8 feet from the rear property line <br />where 30 feet is required. Currently the existing garage is placed 2 feet from the rear property <br />line and the home is placed 52 feet from the rear property line. The applicant oriented the <br />home to meet the lake yard setbacks which are at a curve due to the nature of the lakeshore <br />and caused the structure to be moved closer to the rear/street side of the property. <br />Hardcover (78-1700) <br />The applicant is proposing a new home that would exceed the 25% hardcover to 33.98% <br />hardcover. Currently the property has 35.74% hardcover, the applicant is proposing to reduce <br />that amount with the new home and driveway. They are proposing to meet the required 20% <br />structural coverage. The applicant states that the driveway was designed for the safety of the <br />homeowner for entering and exiting the property. There is a need for the driveway to have a <br />turnaround point for vehicles in order to ensure there are clear sight lines and a safe entrance <br />and exit to the home due to the amount of traffic on Shadywood Road and the small nature of <br />this lot. The Planning Commission should discuss whether the proposed driveway meets the <br />minimum requirements for safety. <br />Lot Width and Lot Area (78-350) <br />Zoning Code Section 78-72 provides options for the redevelopment of lots which do not meet <br />the minimum area or width requirements for the respective zoning district. Substandard <br />
