History of Eastlake Street: Kastlake Street is zoned LR-IA (2 acre), however, most of the properties are .11 or .12 of an acre. Most of the residences in the area were built prior to the current zoning classification. Because of this, variances arc needed to further develop the properties. Staff researched Eastlake Street and four were found to have been granted variances. 1. 3403 Eastlake Street - 1991. (.27 acre) Approved to permit construction of detached 2 stall garage which is 39’ from the street lot line (50 ’ required), 37 ’ from side street (50 ’ is required), hardcover in 75-250 ’ setback over the allowed 25% and the building is located in the flood fringe. 2. 3405 Eastlake Street - 1987. (.114 acre). Approved to permit construction of three season porch 15’ from front lot line (50 ’ required) and 11.5’ from side lot line (30 ’ is required). 3. 3465 Eastlake Street - 1996. Entire lot in 0-75 ’. Approved to permit reconstruction of roof on house. The rear of the house is located 69’ from 929.4’ and the side is 22’ from 929.4’. 4. 3424, 3444 and 3464 Eastlake Street - Approved to permit construction of an accessor>' building without a principal building on the outlot. 5. 3464 Eastlake Street - (1986) (.46 acre). Approved to construct brick patio in 0-75 ’(80 s.f.- 1.2%) and 75-250 ’ (4,187 s.f. - 32.9%). Additional hardcover in 75-250 ’ was approved because of the low elevation in relation to the lake level, the residence has no basement, hence increased bulk and hardcover above ground was necessary to construct a suitable residence on the property. Statement of Hardship: The applicant has included their statement of hardship in Exhibit A. Recapping the main hardships: The lot is extremely undersized for the zoning district. Approximately 75% of the pro; erty is within 75’ of the 929.4’ water level. The setback requirements are such that variances are required in order to build on the property. Issues for Consideration: 1. The lot has an existing residence on the property. 2. The properties surrounding the applicant’s lot are also undersized and do not meet the required area in the zoning district. Most lots on the street are 50' wide. 3. Almost 75% of the property lies w ithin the 0-75 ’ setback area. #02-2803 Coriton Erickson 3415 Eastlake Street 7/8/2002 Page 3 of 4
