ATTACHMENT TO THE APPLICATION OF <br />RAY AND NYLENE NEWXIRK <br />1489 SHORELINE DRI\ E <br />A. The Proposal <br />The Ne\%1tirks propose to demolish the home at 1489 Shoreline Dr. the} ha\e lived in since <br />1999 and build a new home on the site. As they considered the ahemaUves of a major renovation <br />of the home on its present foundation, or. building a new home with basically the some footprint, <br />they of course considered the economics of each alternative. The decision was tipped by an <br />outside factor, the noise from Shoreline Drive County Road 15. With new construction they <br />could most effectively create barriers to the noise; thicker, bener insulated walls, brick and other <br />reflective finishes, special sound dampening windows and glass, and most imporunlly, they <br />could use the design of the home to mitigate the noise from the roadway. The interior plan of the <br />home could be changed to use the garage to buffer the master bedroom and cluster the most active <br />areas of the home in the inner most parts of the home. <br />The new home is larger than the Newkirk’s present home, but is not atypical or unanticipated <br />for its lakefront location. And. as the Newkirks made their choices about the new home, they <br />held a priority for maintaining the existing relationship of the present home with their neighbors <br />in the new home. <br />As a new home rather than a renovation, the Newkirks have the responsibility to comply <br />with the present regulations on this previously developed site. To allow their new home to be <br />constructed they will require three variances. <br />B. The Requested Variances <br />The requested variances are: <br />1. To reduce the required LR-1 .A lot area from 87.120 sf to 3 1.118 sf and lot width <br />from 200 fl to 132 ti to recognize this existing, but non conforming homesitc. <br />2. To reduce the required side yard setbacks 30 1: to 21 ft on the nonh and to 15 ft <br />on the south to generally recognize and maintain the existing, though non <br />conforming, side yards and relationship of the present and new home and the <br />homes of the neighbors. <br />3. To increase the allowed percentage of imperv ious surface in the 75 to 250 ft area <br />from 255o to 34.l^o. a reduction from the present 43.6*o cov erage in that area. <br />The e.xact dimensions of these requested variances and the comparison of the present and. <br />proposed homes follow as Table A.
