Background: <br />This property did have variances approved in 1990 that allowed additions to the existing house, <br />including a three-season porch and upper level deck additions. At that time the approval established <br />a maximum allowed hardcover of 35.5% in the 75-250 ’ lakeshore setback area. That approval <br />includes all existing hardcover in the 75-250 ’ setback, but did not address the amount of hardcover <br />located within the 0-75' setback. <br />The hardcover is broken down as follows: <br />0-75 ’Existing 2.785 s.f (4.2%) <br />m Proposed 1,802 sf (2.7%) <br />75-250 ’Existing 7,856 s.f (34.9%) <br />Proposed 8,810 s.f (39.2%) <br />Total Hardcover on property: <br />Existing <br />Proposed <br />10,641 s.f. <br />10,614 s.f. <br />The total allowed hardcover on the property based on the 1990 variance is 7,988 s.f. or (35.5%) for <br />the 75-250' setback. Adding the 2,785 s.f that had existed equaled a total hardcover of 10,773 s.f <br />on the property. Total hardcover in the 0-75' setback would be reduced by 983 s.f The remainder <br />of the hardcover within 75 ’ of the lake is primarily due to the seawall that surrounds the properly. <br />The properly owner had initial discussions with staff to discuss future redevelopment of the site. <br />Based on some unique features of the site the property owners have requested variances to allow the <br />same amount of hardcover on the property as currently exists. <br />The existing house was constructed in the 1 940s and has been vacant since 1998. The property had <br />been for sale for much of this time. <br />Average Lakeshore Setback V’ariancc <br />The propeity is two acres in size w ith approximately 1,600' of shoreline and includes a peninsula. <br />The line of sight is measured from the two adjacent properties resulting in no building area on the <br />property. Because the lot is on a peninsula, views from adjacent residential buildings are not directly <br />affected. The existing house is actually located within 75 ’ of the lakeshore. The new house is being <br />mo\ ed further from the lake leaving more lake view for the house to the north of the peninsula. The <br />houses located in the channel do not have a direct view of the lake based on existing trees and <br />current location of the house. <br />«02-280B jim ami Jean Echtenkamp <br />28(H) Pheasant Road <br />Page 2 of 4
