Lot area is .39 acre or 78% of the required 1/2 acre. Lot width is 74' or 74% of the required 100'. List of Exhibits - A - Resolution B - Revised Rouse Location and Hardcover Calculations C - Notice of Planning Commission Action 7/15/91 D - Memo & Exhibits of 7/9/91 Discussion - Please review the memo and exhibits of July 9th. Briefly, the applicants wish to remove the existing house and cabin on the property, and construct a new home. The original request showed a 50' street setback, with 2^,4% hardcover in the 75-250* zone. Applicants were advised that only a 30' front setback is required, and Planning Commission also indicated to applicants that they would have a hard time granting a hardcover variance. Applicants have revised their plans to move the house forward to the 30* setback and have therefore been able to reduce proposed hardcover to 24.6% in the 75-250* zone. Planning Coasd-ssion Reccansendation - At their July 15th meeting^ Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the lot width and lot area variances subject to limiting 75-250* hardcover to 25.0% so that no hardcover variance is necessary. Justification for the lot width and lot area variances is that this lot was platted prior to the current half acre/100* area and width requirements, and that a residence currently exists on the property. For the record, lot coverage will be approximately 11% under the current proposal and there is no problem with average lakeshore setback. Applicants have been advised that removal of fj plastic sheeting underneath the volleyball court in the 0-75* zone and replacement with top soil and sod to make that a non- hardcovered yard area, will not require any additional approvals. Staff Rernundation - Staff recommends approval per the Planning Commission recommendation. A resolution is attached for Council review. S'-C>
