The <br />addition is proposed to include additional 2nd story deck, portions of <br />which are proposed to extend into the 76* lakeshore setback zone. It is <br />likely that this deck could be redesigned to eliminate the encroachment. <br />Applicant proposes tradeoffs in hardcover so that there will be no net <br />increase in hardcover on the property. Existin<j 75'-250' hardcover is 44%. <br />As noted above, in reviewing the construction plans staff noted a <br />second kitchen proposed to bo installed in the lower floor. Applicant <br />states that he plans to buy the home from his parents since they are near <br />retirement, and his parents would live in the basement unit. This second <br />dwelling unit requires a conditional use permit. The property is only 0.27 <br />acre, not meeting the 1.0 acre which would normally be required in the 1/2 <br />acre zone for a guest hntjse use. Applicant is willing to agree to never <br />renting out the second unit. I’orhaps a "temporary" guest apartment <br />conditional use permit would be in order, such as was granted to Edward <br />Beck on North Arm Drive. (A copy of that resolution is attached.) <br />The average setback variance required is due mainly to the location of <br />the house to the south an average of 100* from the shoreline. The neigh­ <br />bors to the north and south (Christianson and Hartwell, respectively) have <br />given written approval of the project. <br />Staff would suggest that the average setback variance bo granted based <br />on the hardship of the location of the existing building; that the 75'-250' <br />hardcover variance be granted subject to removal of an equivalent amount of <br />existing hardcover; that the deck be redesigned to not encroach into the 0— <br />75' setback zone; and that the applicant be required to file for a condi­ <br />tional use permit tor the temporary guest house use, for public hearing at <br />your May meeting. The variances and conditional use permit recommendations <br />would then be submitted to the Council at the same time.
