The height increase, from the top of the <br />current roof to the pitch of the new roof, will be approximately 11 ’. The current setback <br />in this location is 18 ’ when 30’ is required by the Zoning District. No footprint <br />expansion is proposed. <br />Average Lakeshore Setback Variance <br />The applicant's home was constructed in 1950 in the location indicated on the survey. <br />All City records indicate that the home all City codes in effect at that time. Because the <br />proposal involves additional structure, and the home no longer meets the average <br />lakeshore setback of approximately 180', a variance is required. <br />Hardcover Variance <br />The proposed roof change will not increase hardcover on the property, however the <br />proposed car port will move around the hardcover somewhat. The existing property <br />meets hardcover requirements in the 0-75’ and 250-500' zones, but is non-conforming in <br />the 75-250 ’ zone where 28% (5,965 s.f) currently exists causing the need for a hardcover <br />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 considering appiications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the <br />proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated <br />traffic conditions, light and air, danger offire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of <br />property in the surrounding area.
