Narrative: <br /> The Sutton property is located at 3825 North Shore Drive. The owner, Gregg Sutton, acquired the <br /> property in 2016 which includes the lot in question where the home is, and also, the conjoining small <br /> driveway/boulevard lot which fronts CR19 (North Shore Drive). Mr. Sutton started working with Lake <br /> Country Builders LCB) in January of 2020 to look at building a 3 season porch and updated deck. The 3 <br /> or 4 season porch was proposed to be extended 10 ft out from the existing rear-house gabled section, <br /> which currently only extends 4ft from the rear main side of the house. The addition of the new <br /> proposed 3 season porch would be a useful and natural extension, which enhances both deck space and <br /> back patio/deck access. <br /> After preliminary discussion with the city regarding this project by LCB, regarding feasibility and set- <br /> backs etc., the design commenced in April and continued through July after design iterations going from <br /> 4 to a 3 season porch. A total of$8,970 was spent on architectural design up to this point. After signing <br /> a contract to commence the build project, and LCB applying for building permits, it was determined in <br /> early August by the city that the proposed addition to the rear of the house infringes upon rear yard <br /> set-back code (by 2.9' for porch and 5.9' for stairway) special to "back lots", contrary to earlier direction <br /> from the city. It is for this reason as well as the practical difficulties listed that we seek a variance to <br /> accommodate our added space as designed. <br />
