� 7 i • . � O� • • O O �b. - �ITY of 4RON0 � � �� G'�' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL . . ��kESH�g'� NO. � O � � � � . a. The property currently contains a residence structure, driveways, etc. which constitute 39.4% pre-existing hardcover in the 75-250' zone, none � of which is fabric or plastic weed barrier. b. The lot is by definition 127' in width where 140' is normally required and therefore meets the "80% standard" for construction on an existing lot of record. The lot width is sufficient to allow construction of a single family residence which meets the required 75' lakeshore setback, required 10' side setbacks, and which will not encroach the average lakeshore setback. At 1.85 acres in area, the lot meets the 1.0 acre minimum lot area standard. c. Hardcover in the 75-250' zone under applicants revised proposal will " . � decrease from the pre-existing level of 39.4% to 30.0% where only 25% • is normally allowed. This level of hardcover is similar in magnitude to levels approved for other lots in the I,R-1B zone, although not necessarily for similarly sized lots in the immediate area. d. Adherence to the 25% limitation would not allow for construction of the residence as proposed unless the driveway or residence were either redesigned or reduced in size, which is not appropriate given the essential , character of the property and surrounding properties. Moving the proposed residence further from the lake to take advantage of the 250-500' hardcover zone allowance would result in grading into an existing slope and have potential adverse impacts on site•drainage. e. A hardcover reduction on this property from 39.4% to 30.0% is a positive " step in meeting the long term environmental goals of the City. , f. The only hardcover that will be located in the 0-75' zone is an existing 74 s.f. stairway to the lake. The residence will be constructed at a distance of 119' from the lake, more than meeting the 75' minimum setback requirement. � Page 2 of 6
