M3-2S92 1001 WUdhvnt TraU May 14,2003 Page! The property was for sale over the winter and staff received many calls regarding the possibility of this property acquiring access to the lake via the lagoon that juts in from Forest Lake. However, the lagoon does not abut the property and the adjacent lot does not have sufficient shoreline to give up any frontage. The applicant has provided a site plan/survey indicating the proposed house location and the 250* lakeshore setback line for hardcover calculation purposes. The proposed house is located about 140' from the shoreline, and most of the site is within the 75-250' zone, with the driveway and southerly 50-100' of the lot in the 250-500' zone Hardcover in the 75-250' zone is proposed at 17%, and in the 250-500' zone is 1 6.8® o, hence hardcover is not an issue. Hardcover may actually decrease from that proposed if the detached garage and associated driveway are not const; acted; sidewalks and other amenities will have to be added to the final plans to allow hardcover confirmation before a building permit will be issued. All proposed setbacks are conforming, and average lakeshore setback is not an issue because this is not a lakeshore lot. Issues for Consideration 1. 2. 3. 4. The lot appears to be similar in size to other developed lots in the neighborhood. A single family residence previously existed on the property. The property is sewered. Lot coverage by structures is approximately 3100 s.f or 8.3%, well within the 15% limit. The site plan submittei! does not reflect that the existing detached garage has been removed, md shows driveways that staff believes do not reflect the final proposal. For the record it is noted that the removed detached garage would have to be located in a conforming location if actually proposed; and that the driveway encroachment into the neighboring property to the west must be eliminated as part of the construction process (must be at least 5' from lot line). 5.The applicant has not provided a grading and drainage plan; such a plan will be required for review and approval prior to building permit issuance. There are no apparent grading and drainage concerns with this property. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the lot width variance subject to applicant providing plans for final building permit approval that meet all other City standards for new construction in the LR-1 B zonine district. ® J
