The new home is asking for similar variances. The 2019 home was approved for a <br />19’ side yard setback, today’s application is proposing a 21’ side yard setback. <br /> <br /> <br />Practical Difficulties Analysis <br />Applicants Submittal information: The applicant has identified the unique existing lakeshore and <br />inlet lake yard as practical difficulties supporting the requested variance. Additionally, they have <br />provided supporting documentation regarding Practical Difficulties attached as Exhibit B, and <br />should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application. <br /> <br />Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: Regarding practical difficulty, Staff finds the inlet is a <br />practical difficulty supporting variances, and notes the applicant is working to improve the site <br />by working within the existing building footprint and massing of the proposed home.
