AGENDA ITEM Prepared By: mcc Reviewed By: J Barnhart Approved By: DJR 1. Purpose. This application is regarding an amendment to the approved plans associated with the average lakeshore setback variance to construct additions to the existing home. The amended plans reflect minor changes to the approved plans. 2. Background/ Summary. In October 2019, Council adopted Resolution No. 7030 which granted average lakeshore setback variances for modifications to the existing home. The applicant is now ready to begin construction, however the property owner has made some modifications to the plans. The applicant has submitted revised plans identifying the adjustments (below) which are outlined in more detail on Exhibit B. a. Adjustment #1: Eliminate the proposed main level addition at the northwest (lake) side of the house and rebuild the existing chimney and fireplace, located at an existing bay. b. Adjustment #2: Increase the extension of a proposed new bay window at the kitchen from 1’-6” to 3’-1”. The foundation and footprint of the house remains the same. c. Adjustment #3: Eliminate approximately 378 square feet (18 ft x 21 ft) of a proposed upper level addition, and the attached deck, located above the existing main level of the house at the north end. Relocate an approved bay dormer from the eliminated space to a new location over the original main level at the west side of the house. The size of the revised upper level and roof is substantially smaller than the approved variance drawings and fits within the footprint of the original house. Some of the adjustments reduce the encroachments/variances, others propose expansions into areas not approved. Nearly the entire site is lakeward of the average lake shore setback. The same practical difficulties identified which supported the original variances also support the current modifications. The adjacent property is situated across the bay and has no negative impact as a result of the variances. As with the original plans, the modifications will meet the 75-foot setback; however they will be situated within the average lakeshore setback. 3. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends the Council review the proposed modifications and recommends approval of the draft resolution. The draft resolution upholds the original approvals of Resolution 7030, yet reflects updated Exhibits B and C (plans). The original expiration date of October 14, 2020 remains unchanged.
