AGENDA ITEM Prepared By: LLO Reviewed By: J. Barnhart Approved By 1. Purpose. The applicant is requesting lot area, width and average lakeshore setback for a new home. 2. Background. The applicant are requesting lot area, lot width, and average lakeshore setback variances in order to redevelop the property. The average lakeshore setback line which, based on the location of the two adjacent neighbors, cuts through the subject lot at an angle, establishing a substantial setback between 116’ and 155’ feet from the lake. The neighbor to the north is significantly further from the lake than most of the neighboring homes resulting in the extreme setback. The proposed home will be in conformance with the 75’ lake yard setback and other setbacks for the property. 3. 15.99 Deadline. A complete application was made on September 7, 2021. Following the 60 day rule the application expires November 6, 2021. 4. Planning Commission Vote and Comment On September 20, 2021 the Planning Commission held a public hearing. The Commissioner discussed the placement of the new home being located to meet the lake yard setback. Following the public hearing the Planning Commission voted 6-0 (Libby abstained) on a motion to approve the requested variance. During discussion a comment was brought up on the fact that the building has been demolished, and therefore there is no “like and in-kind replacement’ eligible. While the applicants are not proposing a true in-kind replacement, they noted the existing home location to demonstrate the minimal change to the neighborhood character and setback improvements that are being proposed with the new house placement. In fact, a non-conforming status is retained so long as the non-conforming structure is replaced within 180 days (for voluntary demolition) and 12 months, for acts of God (Sec. 78-71) 5. Public Comment No public comments have been received. The applicant submitted a letter of support from the northern property owner, 1038 Loma Linda Ave. 6. Staff Recommendation.
