Required Setbacks LR-IB <br />Front Yard = 35' <br />Side Yard =10’ <br />Issues: <br />1. Conformity to Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan <br />The applicants have proposed to reduce the total hardcover on the property by removing part of the <br />driveway that is not required for maneuvering vehicles. The building additions have been placed <br />mostly over areas that contain hardcover. New hardcover would include the construction of a <br />sidewalk to connect the garage to the house. <br />The house is located 2.4' from the north property line. The addition of the mud room would be 6' <br />from the north property line where a 10' setback is required. It replaces a landing and part of the <br />driveway that would be removed. The additional 4' encroaching into the setback would be to allow <br />for a '/2 bath to be located within the mud room. <br />The family room addition would be within the average lakeshore setback. A large portion of the <br />existing residence is located within the average lakeshore setback distance. No further encroachment <br />is proposed than what exists. It is actually 2' less into the setback than the existing house. <br />Structural coverage is over what is permitted for lots less than 10,000 s.f. in size. The property has <br />1,579 s.f. of structure where 1,500 s.f. is allowed. The applicants have proposed to increase the <br />structure an additional 332 s.f. They had made an application for a building permit that was not <br />approved due to the variances required. Staff has notified the applicants of the structural coverage <br />limitations on the property and the need to show a hardship to require additional structure. The <br />applicants have provided a hardship statement (attached as Exhibit B). <br />11. Dccks/Patios <br />The proposed plan does not indicate any proposed decks or patios on the lakeside of the house. The <br />hardcover that is proposed within the 75-250' setback does not allow for any additional hardcover <br />in the future as further variances would be required. It would not be in keeping with the intent of <br />the Comprehensive Plan or Zoning Code to permit additional hardcover on the lot in the 75-250' <br />setback. The only way to accommodate decks or patios within the hardcover limits will be to reduce <br />hardcover elsewhere. <br />III. Surrounding Properties <br />This lot is one of several 50' lots along Park Lane that are non-conforming due to the lot width and <br />lot size requirements. All the surrounding properties are zoned LR-IB. The Code allows Iocs, <br />including the applicants, that are less than 10,000 s.f. to have more than 15% structure. The lots ar: <br />permitted to have 1,500 s.f. of structure. <br />#2619 Paul and Denise Aasen <br />577 Park Lane <br />Variances - Public Hearing <br />Page 2 <br />i
