Vote: Ayes 6, <br />Nays 0. <br />( #13) #2305 ROGER AND ELIZABETH OLSEN, 815 PARTENWOOD ROAD - <br />VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 10 :45 -11:05 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />The Applicant was present. <br />Bressler reported that the application is for remodeling and expansion of an existing <br />residence to include an attached 4 -stall garage and loop driveway requiring a lakeshore <br />setback, and hardcover variances in the 0 -75' and 75 -250' lakeshore setbacks. A revised <br />survey was presented. Bressler indicated that due to the lot configuration, the building <br />pad on the lot is restricted. Staff recommends approval of the application subject to <br />conditions noted which include elimination of the loop portion of the driveway, plastic <br />under landscaping, and with the notation that no further hardcover would be allowed in <br />the future. Bressler reported that the applicant has agreed to remove the plastic under the <br />. landscaping. <br />Olsen said the plans have changed due to the homeowners' association covenants <br />requiring a 20' side setback. The plan currently calls for a 10' side setback. He would <br />like to move the design down 10' to satisfy this requirement. <br />9 <br />Hawn said in order for this to occur, a new plan would have to be submitted. Bressler <br />noted that hardcover calculations would change. <br />Berg questioned what existing foundation and walls would be used. The existing <br />foundation and walls to be used were noted. The house is a walk -out style. Lindquist <br />said he would agree in principle to this change but would require reviewing the plan. <br />Olsen said there was a time limit problem for beginning construction this year. <br />Hawn asked about the elimination of the loop and location of the well. Olsen said he has <br />reduced hardcover 1185 s.f. in the 0 -75' setback with the elimination of driveway and <br />retaining walls. <br />The applicant's designer asked if approval could be based on percentages and changes <br />meeting the percentages required. <br />28 <br />
