The applicant plans to demolish the existing home and detached garage. The <br />existing detached garage is nonconforming because is it closely abutting the rear and side <br />property lines. The proposed new home will conform to the lake and average lake setbacks. Due <br />to contours of the lot, they are requesting a rear yard setback variance to allow them to be 29.6 <br />feet from the rear property line instead of the standard 50 feet, which is a 20.4 foot encroachment. <br />The applicant stated that positioning the garage further away from the road creates issues with the <br />downward slope of the driveway, creating a hazard in the winter months. A setback variance is <br />requested, therefore lot area and lot width variances will also be needed due to the substandard <br />area and width of the lot. <br />4. Planning Commission Comment.
