The height increase, from the top of the current roof to the pitch of the new roof, will be approximately 11'. The current setback in this location is 18' when 30' is required by the Zoning District. No footprint expansion is proposed. Average Lakeshore Setback Variance The applicant's home was constructed in 1950 in the location indicated on the survey. All City records indicate that the home all City codes in effect at that time. Because the proposal involves additional structure, and the home no longer meets the average lakeshore setback of approximately 180', a variance is required. Hardcover Variance The proposed roof change will not increase hardcover on the property, however the proposed car port will move around the hardcover somewhat. The existing property meets hardco�-er requirements in the 0-75' and 250-500' zones, but is non-conforming in the 75-250' zone where 28% (5,965 s.£) currently exists causing the need for a hardcover variance.
