y ' t ownership of the subject property has changed between family members. The applicant again owns the property and has applied for variances to construct a new residence on the property. Lot Area: The lot area is 16,095 s.f. (.37 acre) in the LR-IC zoning district where 21,780 s. f. (.5 acre) is required and where existing lots of record would be required to meet 17,424 s.f. (.4 acre) or 80%. In 1995, the applicant was granted a lot area variance to construct a new residence on the property. (Res. #3573). Lot Coverage by Structures: The proposed residence is 2,856 s.f and a porch is 406 s.f for a total 3,262 s.f (20%). The porch is covered, therefore is included in lot coverage by structures. The lot coverage by structures is OVER the allowed amount by 847.75 s.f Hardcover: The subject property falls in two hardcover zones, 250-500 ’ and 500-1000 ’. The construction of the residence is primarily located in the 500-1000 ’ setback zone. A small portion of the residence and porch are located in the 250-500 ’ setback zone for a total of 408 s.f Even though the proposed hardcover in the 500-1000 ’ setback zone is 3,960 s.f (38%) and exceeds the allowed 3642.63 s.f (35%), the applicant has not used all of the 1706.25 s.f in the 250-500 ’ setback zone. The City does allow credit for unused hardcover allotment to be transferred to zones further from the lake. This is referred to as transfer of hardcover allotments from zone to zone. Thcrcforct a hardcover variance in the 500-1000 ’ setback zone is not required. Detached Garage/Foundation: There currently is a detached garage and part of the old foundation on the property. If the proposed residence is approved and constructed, both the garage and foundation will be removed Statement of Hardship: The applicant has included their statement of hardship in Exhibit C. The applicant should also be asked for their testimony regarding this issue. Issues for Consideration: 1. A single family residence existed on the property for over 50 years prior to being destroyed by fire. 2. The property is served with municipal sewer and water. #02-2863 Richard Kail 3753 Casco Avenue 1/15/2003 Page 2 of 3 ^
