TO:Planning Commission PROM: Jeanne A. Mabusth, Building S Zoning Administrator DATE:June 12, 1985 SUBJECT: #930 Jim Schaver, 1080 Ferndale West - Variance Zoning District - LR-IA Pertinent Ordinances - Section 10.21, Subdivision 2 - Lakeshore Hardcover Section 10.23 Subdivision 6B rear setback List of Exhibits Exhibit A Exhibit B Exhibit C Exhibit D Exhibit E Exhibit F Exhibit G Application Property Owners List Plat Map Applicant's hardcover review Resolution #1181 Survey 4-4-85 Site Plan Staff comments concerning hardcover facts reviewed by applicant The applicant has included only the area of dry buildable for hardcover credit. Section 10.21, Subdivision 2, does not exclude wetlands areas in determination of allowed hardcover. If you merely considered an allowance of 25% for the total lot area at 184,000 square feet, the property would receive a hardcover credit of 47,000 square feet. The majority of the drainage from the development of the lot will drain to the wetlands not the lake. The wetlands also serves as a retention basin foi much of the surrounding development. The severe limitations placed upon the dry buildable portions of this property within the defined building envelope will limit development. I would suggest the City refund $50.00 to the applicant upon completion of the review. Rear Setback Variance Required = 50' Proposed = 37' Varianct = 13' or 26% The applicant claims the dry buildable land or building envelope of this lot is severely restricted making it impossible to locate a moderate house (approximately 2,700 sf of building pad) in comparison of surrouding West Ferndale neighborhood and meet required setbacks. The total dry buildable is 20,700 square feet or not quite a half-acre and the building envelope is designated with two acre lot setback standards. J
