The LR - IB zoning <br />district in which the property is located requires a 1 acre minimum, requiring a lot area <br />variance. This property dso contains 54* of width at the shoreline and 76 ’ of width at the <br />75* setback when Ae LR - IB zoning district requires 140* of width at the shoreline and <br />75* setback. In order to construct a new residence on this existing lot, lot area and lot <br />width variances must be granted as the lot doesn’t meet the 80% minimums allowing for <br />administrative approval. <br />Side Street Setback Variance <br />The «q)plicant is also requesting a setback variance to the right-of-way known as Rest <br />Point Lane. The Zoning Ordinance requires a 35* setback from side yards adjacent to a <br />street, where the applicant has proposed a 23* setback. The applicant has proposed a <br />house 50* in width angled to maximize views to the lake, which results in the 23* setback <br />and thus the request for a variance. <br />Hardship Statement <br />Applicant has provided a brief hardship statement in Exhibit B, and should be asked for <br />additional testimony regarding the application. <br />Hardship Analysis <br />In enntkkrtng nppIktMom for voHooce, the Plooolog Commiaho shall coosUer ike ^ect of Ike <br />profoaei varkmee upon Ike keMi, sefety ami welfare of Hie commnnlly, exisHag omH oalk^ialeH <br />Irgffle eomUHan s, t^l oaH air.
