Staff does not find practical difficulties <br /> exist which support the requested lot area variance to permit a guest house use. <br /> LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br /> Section 78-350&78-1279—Setbacks: <br /> The proposed diving lot line will not result in any of the existing buildings becoming nonconforming; a minimum <br /> of 10-foot setback from the new lot line is proposed for the existing home and the detached garage.The <br /> elimination of the separate"Swenson" lot results in the average lakeshore setback as applied to the Abbott and <br /> Oare properties becomes more conforming and more consistent with the other properties along the lake on this <br /> side of Casco Point Road (see Exhibit I). <br /> Section 78-350—Lot Area/Width: <br /> Based on the proposed distribution of the "Swenson" property,the currently nonconforming-sized Oare <br /> property will become conforming within the LR-1C district with respect to minimum lot area and lot width. The <br /> Abbott property will conform to lot area. The lot width will remain the same. • <br /> Property Required Existing Proposed <br /> Abbott 21,780 s.f. (0.5 acres) 27,584 s.f.
