The property at 2965 Casco Point Road is the adjacent lakeshore property, and the home at 2965 <br />Casco Point Road is located slightly behind the subject property. Attached to 2965 Casco Point <br />Road is a strip of land approximately 20’ X 230’ that goes to the lake. Because 2965 Casco <br />Point Road has lake frontage it is the adjacent property which is used to determine average <br />lakeshore setback. <br />Currently, 2965 Casco Point Road views of the lake are straight ahead, almost a tunnel. The <br />additions to the subject property will minimally if at all obscure existing views of the lake <br />enjoyed by 2965 Casco Point Road. The addition on the south side of the residence will raise the <br />height of the residence significantly higher than currently exists. However, there is a row of trees <br />along the shared lot line and the topography is such that the existing lake view across the subject <br />property is minimal. The additions will have little impact on 2965 Casco Point Road’s view of <br />the lake. <br />Statement of Hardship: <br />The applicants have included their statement of hardship in Exhibit A. The applicants should <br />also be asked for their testimony regarding this issue. <br />Issues for Consideration: <br />1. The existing residence was built in 1934. <br />2. The property is in the LR-IC zoning district and is a conforming lot. <br />3. The hardcover in the 75-250’ setback zone is being reduced slightly to 30%, but above the <br />allowed 25%. <br />4. Is there any additional existing hardcover that can be removed to make the property more <br />conforming? Should the shed near the driveway be required to be removed? <br />5. Should the 1st story' addition on the south side of the residence, which is proposed to be 5 ’ <br />from the property line, which is better than the existing 1.3’, be required to meet the 10’ setback? <br />6. The proposed addition will minimally if at all obstruct the view of the adjacent neighbor. <br />The suMivision which occurred in 1977 drastically changed the average lakeshore setback for <br />this property. The proposed additions, except for the 2’ cantilevered wall, are not any closer to <br />the lake tb.an the existing residence. <br />7. The proposed additions increase the lot coverage by structures to 12.9%, still below the <br />allowed 15%. <br />tf03-288l Curtis/Kathleen Midthun <br />2941 Casco Point Road <br />4/18/2003 <br />Page 5 of 6
