Required Setbacks LR-IB Front Yard = 35' Side Yard = 10' Issues: i- I. Conformity to Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan The applicants have proposed to reduce the total hardcover on the property by removing part of the driveway that is not required for maneuvering vehicles. The building additions have been placed mostly over areas that contain hardcover. New hardcover would include the construction of a sidewalk to connect the garage to the house. The house is located 2.4' from the north property line. The addition of the mud room would be 6' from the north property line where a 10' setback is required. It replaces a landing and part of the driveway that would be removed. The additional 4' encroaching into the setback would be to allow for a Vi bath to be located within the mud room. The family room addition would be within the average lakeshore setback. A large portion of the existing residence is located within the average lakeshore setback distance. No further encroachment is proposed than what exists. It is actually 2' less into the setback than the existing house. Structural coverage is over what is permitted for lots less than 10,000 s.f. in size. The property has 1,579 s.f. of structure where 1,500 s.f. is allowed. The applicants have proposed to increase the structure an additional 332 s.f. They had made an application for a building permit that was not approved due to the variances required. Staff has notified the applicants of the structural coverage limitations on the property and the need to show a hardship to require additional structure. The applicants have provided a hardship statement (attached as Exhibit B). yi. Decks/Patios The proposed plan does not indicate any proposed decks or patios on the lakeside of the house. The hardcover that is proposed within the 75-250' setback does not allow for any additional hardcover in the future as further variances would be required. It would not be in keeping with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan or Zoning Code to permit additional hardcover on the lot in the 75-250 ’ setback. The only way to accommodate decks or patios within the hardcover limits will be to reduce hardcover elsewhere. III. Surrounding Properties This lot is one of several 50' lots along Park Lane that are non-conforming due to the lot width and lot size requirements. All the surrounding properties are zoned LR-IB. The Code allows lots, including the applicants, that are less than 10,000 s.f. to have more than 15% structure. The lots are permitted to have 1,500 s.f. of structure. •2619 Paul and Denise Aasen 577 Park Lane Variances — Public Hearing Page 2
