Planning Commission Review and Recommendation of August 19,2002: The Planning Commission tabled this application and advised the applicant to revise the site plan to push the house and eaves back on the property to meet a 50 ’ setback to the lakeshore. Furthermore the applictOit could not exceed 660 s.f. which is the existing hardcover in the 0-75 ’ setback. The adjacent property owner to the west (3635 North Shore Drive) appeared at the hearing and stated he would be supportive of the variances as presented that evening if the existing arborvitae privacy hedge that exists between the two residences remained. The new site plan does meet the parameters as established by the Planning Commissison. The revised application requires review of the following variances; 1. Section 10.25, Subdivision 6 (B): Side Yard Setback: Minimum side yard setback in the LR-IC zoning district is 10’. Variance Requested: To permit addition to be 5 ’ and 7.5 ’ from west side property line. Side Yard: The rear of the residence is approved to be located 5 ’ from the west property line where 10’ is required. The lake side comer of the residence was approved to be 8.5 feet from the property line. The applicant is proposing to locate this comer of the residence at 7.5 ’ from the property line. The 5 ’ side yard setback was approved to provide one additional parking space on the property. ' accommodate the second parking space next to the house, a side setback variance was reqv : because the house was shifted towards the west side property line. The rear comer of the resides »- will still be located 5 ’ from the property line. The city prefers residences to be a minimum of 10’ apart, the lakeside comer will be 8.5’ from the adjacent residence rather than 9.5 feel per the prior variances approval. The 10’ separation between buildings that City strives to maintain is for emergency access as well as for aesthetics, to limit the visual density within neighborhoods. Access will be available from the cast side of the property. 2. Section 10.55, Subdivision 8: Structure within the 75 ’ lakeshore Setback. 3.
