Application Summary: Applicant at the June meeting provided a new plan which reduces the number and magnitude of variances needed to constmet a second story addition and attached garage to the existing residence. A slightly further reduced plan was submitted on July 14. The variances required by the most recent revised plan include: 1. Second story structure encroaching within 0-75* setback zone, 65' from shoreline. 2. Second story structure encroaching 4.3 feet from left side lot line. 3. Second story structure encroaching 2.4 feet from right side lot line. 4. Attached garage addition and grading 6 feet from left side lot line (rather than 4*) and moved back toward existing house footprint to avoid encroaching sewer line easement. 5. Remove existing 423 s.f. deck in 0-75' zone, replace with a smaller 95 s.f. deck still slightly encroaching average setback line. 6. Hardcover in 0-75’ zone w ill be reduced from 1058 s.f (29.4%) to 535.31 sf (14.8%) where no hardcover is allowed, by reducing deck steps and concrete slab areas. 7. Hardcover in 75-250' zone will be reduced from 2257.1 sf (51.9%) to 1961.38 sf (45.1%) where 25% is normally allowed. > Lot coverage by structures reduced from 1870 s.f (23.5%) to exactly 1500 s.f w here 1500 s.f is allowed (no variance required). > Total hardcover as a percent of 75-250' zone will reduce from the existing 3315 s.f (76.3%) to 2496 s.f (57%). Stuff Recommendation: Staff recommends as follow s: a) Denial of the 4' side setback variances for the garage, as it can be still shifted to meet a 10* setback w ith some interior desi^ changes. b) Denial of the second story additions within the side setbacks, because they w ill tend to overshadow adjoining properties, and lead to issues over future maintenance. c) Approval of the second story addition encroachment of the 75' ..ikeshore setback. d) .Approval of the hardcover variances as proposed, as this the plan reflects what appears to staff to be the minimum hardco\ er necessary to support a reasonable residence on the property. e) Require that a suitable drainage plan be developed prior to review by the Council. t •
