Curtis noted this application was tabled at the May 22nd Council meeting. At that meeting the application was tabled in order for the applicants to redesign their plans to meet the Council’s direction. The applicants have been working with their designer and staff to reduce and revise their variance requests. The following is a summary of the Council’s requests: 1. Meet the required 10-foot side yard setbacks on both sides. Curtis noted the revised survey reflects 10-foot setbacks on both sides. 2. Work around the water supply well location and/or provide proof that the water supply well location cannot be adjusted. The applicants have proposed to work their design around the permitted water supply location as shown on the revised survey. 3. Locating the home five feet ahead of the average lakeshore setback may be appropriate only if the adjacent neighbors support the variance. The applicants have provided letters from adjacent property owners supporting the encroachment into the average lakeshore setback. 4. Reduce 75-250 foot zone hardcover by reducing the size of the lakeside patio and demonstrate how the driveway will function as proposed. At the last meeting the applicants were requesting 53.9 percent hardcover within the 75-250 foot zone. Their request has been revised to a variance to allow 47.1 percent hardcover where 25 percent is normally allowed. This was accomplished by reducing the footprint of the home, reducing the size of the proposed lake-side patio and driveway. ______________________________________________________________________________ PAGE 3 Item #02 - CC Agenda 09/11/06 Approval Of Minutes 08/28/06[Page 3 of 19]
