NINUTBS OP THE PLANNING COmiSSION MEETING H8LD JULY 15, 1985. PAGE 15 •938 ROBERT NASH #940 ANN C. PISRBR 774 TONKAWA ROAD VARIANCE PUBLIC HEARING 10:04 - 10:15 PM Motion, Ayes (4), Nays (0). Ann C. Fisher was present. Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron noted the certificate of mailing and affidavit of publication. There was no one present from the public for this application. Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained that the applicant is requesting a variance to the average lakeshore setback in order to construct a deck and screen porch on the lakeside of the existing house. There is a steep bank from approximately the 75* line to the shoreline. There is some screening between houses to the south, and a small amount between subject property and the house to the north. The request is to exceed the average house setback by approximately 15' with the deck and screen porch. No neighbors have commented on the project. There is no hardcover problem on this property. Fisher stated that Gabriel Jabbour (neighbor) had talked to Zoning Administrator Mabusth and said everything looked fine. Lajoys also had no problems with the proposal. The hardships include the fact the lot is so narrow and the hill is very steep. Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron noted that the existing houses on either side are set back more that 75'. Goetten moved, Taylor seconded to recommend approval of the average lakeshore setback and side yard setback variances for Ann C. Fisher finding that: 1. The hardships to the property are locations of the neighboring residences, and the angle of the lakeshore in relation to the lot. 2. The neighbors lakeshore views will not be affected due to topography and existing natural screening . 3. The increase in hardcover is within the limits prescribed in the zoning code. I
