Caffron, Assistant i'oninq AvJmi ni st riitor April 10, 1985 Subject: P908 John Scherven, 2649 Casco Point RoaJ - Variance Application - Average setback variance for construction of addition to home; hardcover tradeoffs proposetJ. Note - during review of this application, staff notes that basement appears to contain a second kitchen and is apparently proposed to contain a second dwelling unit, requiring a Conditional Use Permit. List of Exhibits Exhibit A Exhibit B Exhibit C Exhibit D Exhibit E Exhibit F Exhibit G Application Property Owners List Plat Map Survey Staff Hardcover Calculations Addition Plans Resolution #1687 The applicant is requesting to build a two-story addition over the existing concrete slab and deck on the lake side of his parents home. The addition is proposed to include additional 2nd story dock, portions of which are proposed to extend into the 75* lakeshore setback zone. It is likely that this deck could be redesigned to eliminate the encroachment. Applicant proposes tradeoffs in hardcover so that there will be no net increase in hardcover on tlie property. Existing 75'-250' hardcover is 44%. As noted above, in reviewing the construction plans staff noted a second kitchen proposed to be installed in the lower floor. Applicant states that he plans to buy the home frem his parents since they are near retirement, and his parents would live in the basement unit. This second dwelling unit requires a conditional use permit. The property is only 0.27 acre, not meeting the 1.0 acre which would normally be required in the 1/2 ‘^cre zor.e for a guc;st house use. Applicant is willing to agree to never renting out the second unit. Perhaps a "temporary ” guest apartment conditional use permit would be in order, such as was granted to Edward Bcck on North Arm Drive. (A copy of that resolution is attached.) The average setback variance required is due mainly to the location of the house to the south an average of 100’ from tlie shoreline. The neigh bors to the north and south (Christianson and Hartwell, respectively) have given written approval of the project. Staff would suggest tliat the average setback variance be granted based on the hardsJiip of the location of the existing building; that the 76'-250' hardcover variance be granted subject to removal of an equivalent amount of existing hiardcover; that the deck be redesigned to not encroacli into the 0- 75' setback zone; and that t)ie applicant be required to file for a condi tional use p«.*rmit for the temporary guest house use, for public hearing at your May meeting. The variances and comlitional use permit recorriinendat i ons W'ould tlien bo submitted to t )ie Council at t)ie sam<> time.
