Landscapes, Inc., o/b/o Kevin & Teresa Torgerson, 1410 Cherry Pl – Variance – Resolution Zoning District: LR-1B, One Family Lakeshore Residential, 1-acre, 140’ Lot Area: 23,038 square feet or 0.52 acres Lot Width: 99’ at the OHWL and 99’ at the 75-foot setback List of Exhibits: Exhibit A. Draft Resolution Exhibit B. Survey - Revised Exhibit C. Landscape Plan - Revised Exhibit D. PC Staff Report & Exhibits 04/15/15 Exhibit E. Draft PC Minutes 04/20/15 Application Summary: A new residence is under construction on the subject property. In conjunction with the redevelopment of the site, the applicant is requesting a hardcover variance to permit redesigned retaining walls within 75 feet of the lake. The applicant’s plan also involves rebuilding and reorienting the lake access stair near the existing boat house on the property, installing a new retaining wall system, replacing in-kind an existing deck over the boathouse and replacing the existing deck lakeward of the boathouse with a permeable landscape rock area. The retaining wall is the only new hardcover proposed as it is not an in-kind replacement and retaining walls are not permitted within 75’ of the lake; the stair is permitted within the 0-75’ and therefore not subject to the variance. The retaining walls will not result in an increase of hardcover over 25% and appear to be necessary to ensure stability of the slope without significant grading landward to stabilize the lake yard. Due to their proposed height and the location on the slope they will likely not be visible from the lake. The hardcover calculations and the survey showing the existing conditions near the lake provided with the variance application were inaccurate. The applicant has provided a corrected survey and hardcover calculations reflecting 24.9% proposed hardcover which would be permitted. The revised plan reflects a reduction of 201 square feet of hardcover within the 75-foot setback. Corrected hardcover levels are as follows: Stormwater Overlay District Tier Total Area in Zone Allowed Hardcover Proposed Hardcover - Revised Tier 1 23,038 s.f. 5,759.5 s.f. (25 %) 5,736 s.f. (24.9%) 484 s.f. * w/ in 75’ Item #8 - CC Agenda - 05/11/2015 File #15-3728 [Total Pages 37]
