r <br />l <br />4. <br />5. <br />A.The existing house and deck are located only a few feet from the <br />lakeshore. Removal of the house and construction of a new house <br />would leave a setback of an average of 30' to the house. Locating the <br />house further from the street would not allow for an adequate setback <br />to the street. 30' is the required setback to the street. The proposed <br />setback is 20'. 20' allows space to back out of the garage into the <br />driveway without backing a vehicle directly into the street, and would <br />provide off street parking for the property. <br />B.The *a:ie anJ «treet setbacks would be consistent with those approved <br />for the two adjacent properties. Both properties are located entirely <br />within the 75' lakeshore setback. <br />C.The hardcover variance is required as the entire lot is located within <br />75' of the lakeshore. I’he proposed hardcover would include up to <br />1,500 s.f. for the house. Additional hardcover would be required for <br />the sidewalk connecting the driveway to the front entrance and the <br />front steps. <br />The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are <br />peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning <br />district; that granting the variances would not adversely affect traffic <br />conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring <br />property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is <br />necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to <br />preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in <br />keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan <br />of the City. <br />The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br />recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br />by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the healtii, safety <br />and welfare of the community. <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />I •ir-r ||-----------------------------------------------------——a.■ml f -at --------------------------r -rr-.
