While applicant proposes to place his home to meet the 75' setback, the homes on either side are <br />located just 55' fiom the shoreline, so applicant would potentially be deprived of lake views as he moves <br />his new home closer to the road to reduce hardcover. Moving closer to the road also negatively affects <br />the average setback line for both neighbors, changing it to make their homes less conforming. Planning <br />Coitunission must determine whctlierthis potential reduction in views and the ir.pacts on adjoining average <br />setback lines, by moving the house nearer the road, is a hardship that justifies the magnitude of hardcover <br />variances requested. <br />From staffs perspective, quantifiable and justifiable 75-250' hardcover vaiianccs include 323 sf due to lot <br />shape and 261 sfin the proposed backup apron. Total allowable 75-250'hardcover would then be 2,525 <br />+ 323 + 261 ■ 3,109 sf, (30.8%) as compared to the 4,297 sf (42.5%) proposed. <br />Staff would recommend a? i starting point that the driveway be reduced in width from 13' to 1 O' for the <br />first 50' from the road, reducing hardcover by ISOs.f. Additional reductions in hardcover should be <br />considered to bring this property nearer the 30.8% level. <br />LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br />Lot Area/Width ; <br />LR-IC Lot Area Defined Lot Width <br />Required 21,7^-) s.f.
