FILE # LA20-000043 <br />20 July 2020 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br />Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: <br />The applicant has designed a house which fits within the required setbacks; eliminated 1,113 square feet of <br />hardcover and structure from the 75-foot setback; and is 23-feet further from the lake to meet the 75-foot <br />setback with a minimal driveway but still exceeds the 25% hardcover. <br /> <br />Staff finds practical difficulties inherent to the location, size, and shape of the lot affecting the property which <br />justify the variances allowing redevelopment. The property’s unique condition of being landlocked without <br />direct frontage on North Shore Drive eliminates their off-site parking ability. The narrow, awkward 7½ foot <br />driveway access point from the existing easement (over 3268 North Shore Drive) provides design and <br />maneuverability challenges. The proposed home development on this property is at a scale which is <br />consistent with the immediate neighborhood. <br /> <br />LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br /> <br />Sections 78-370 & 78-1279 - Setbacks: <br />LR-1C-1 Required Existing Proposed <br />Rear/Street 30’ principal <br />10’ accessory <br />71’ house <br />15’ det. garage <br />30.5’ house <br />East Side* 7.5’ 15.9’ 10’ <br />West Side* 7.5’ 6’ 7.5’ <br />Lakeshore 75’ 52’ house <br />32’ deck <br />75’ house <br />64’ patio <br />Average Lakeshore The property to the east is vacant.
