The lot is substandard to size for the LR -1A, 2 acre, District. The <br />applicant is looking to create additional separation between the neighbor to the south which <br />uses the property as a commercial parking lot as well as a home. A fence would mitigate sound <br />and visibility between the two properties. The applicant has stated there is an existing fence <br />post located in the lake yard they would like to connect the new fence to the existing post. The <br />fence will connect to a fence along the east property line; this fence, though with the 75 lake <br />yard from Browns Bay, replaces a preexisting fence, no variance was required. The applicant <br />has submitted a narrative with pictures for you to review. <br />LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br />Section 78-305- Setbacks: <br />DISTRICT LR -1A Required <br />Proposed <br />Lakeshore 75' <br />1 15' <br />Average Lakeshore The fence is proposed to be 6 feet, 42 inched is permitted in <br />places. <br />Applicable Regulations: <br />Nonencroachments (78-1405)8b <br />2.
