Staff Recommendation <br />Staff recommends approval of the average lakeshore setback variance based on the fact the <br />property is a peninsula lot and there is no suitable building site on the entire 2 acres without a <br />variance. The proposed house is located further from the lakeshore than the existing house. <br />Staff can support the rationale in allowing additional hardcover beyond 25% in the 75-250 ’ <br />lakeshore setback based on previous approvals o; hardcover on the property in 1990. In order for <br />the Planning Commission to approve such a request a finding of hardship related to the size of <br />the property and the fact that 1.5 acres of the lot is located within 75 ’ of the lakeshore. The total <br />hardcover shall not exceed what currently exists on the property. <br />The property owners have worked with staff over the past several months to reduee as much <br />mass and hardcover as possible. 1 he version of the plan for review has been revised and <br />hardcover reduced as a result of some of those discussions. <br />Any such approval is subject to the house not exceeding the 30 ’ height restriction. Applicants <br />shall be placed on notice that the elevation sketches are somewhat rough and are very close to <br />exceeding the 30' height limitation based on the roof design. (The sketches do indicate a <br />building height of 30'. Varianee applications only require sketehes that ean, on occasion, vary <br />slightly from final plans.) When more detailed architectural plans arc submitted for a building <br />permit the height will have to be reviewed again to ensure that it meets all standards. No height <br />variance would be supported by staff. <br />Options for Action: <br />1 . Recommend approval. <br />2. Recommend denial, stating reasons. <br />3. Table, giving applicant direction. <br />4. Other action. <br />102*2108 Jim and Jean Echtenkimp <br />2800 Pheasant Road <br />Pi«e4of4 <br />"I <br />i! <br />I
