The analysis contained <br /> within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid memos, all minutes from <br /> the above mentioned meetings, and any and all other materials distributed at these <br /> meetings are hereby incorporated by reference. <br /> 2. The Property is subject to a concurrent boundary line adjustment request to combine the <br /> Property with the southern portion of the property at 2987 Casco Point Road, thereby <br /> enlarging it. <br /> 3. The Property is located in the LR-1 C Zoning District. <br /> 4. The Property contains 53,432 square feet (1.2 acres) in area and has a defined lot width <br /> of 132.8 feet at the OHWL and 144 feet at the 75-foot setback. <br /> 5. The Property is within Tier 1 and hardcover is limited to 25% according to the <br /> Stormwater Quality Overlay District. <br /> 6. Applicant has applied for the following variance: <br /> a. Average Lakeshore Setback Variance <br /> 7. In considering this application for variance, the Council has considered the advice and <br /> recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed variance <br /> upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic <br /> conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values <br /> of property in the surrounding area. <br /> ANALYSIS: <br /> 1. "Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes <br /> and intent of the ordinance . . . ." The lot includes difficulties in the orientation of the <br /> shoreline and location of adjacent lots/homes. The proposed home location allows for <br /> greater stormwater management opportunities on the street side of the Property. The <br /> proposed home footprint and mass will allow for preservation of the lake views of the <br /> property to the south. The location of the home will limit the lakeward building extent on <br /> the property to the north, which will help to improve lake views currently enjoyed by the <br /> owners of 2975 Casco Point Road. The proposed variance is in harmony with the <br /> purpose of the Ordinance. <br /> 2 <br />
