Adjacent Property:The property to the north would be the most impacted, however would not see the pool due to the existing vegetation and the gazebo located between the houses. A variance was approved in 1997 for the gazebo to be located within the 150' setback to Lake Classen. The Planning Commission made findings that the gazebo will encroach no closer to the Lake than the residential structure, the <br />residential structure was constructed within 150' prior to the adoption of the Shoreland Ordinance <br />and the proposed gazebo location will have little or no impact on views enjoyed by the neighbor to <br />the nordi. <br />Hardship: <br />Applicant has stated the improvement lies adjacent to the gazebo and adjacent to the deck. Planning <br />Commission should consider the following factors in determining a hardship. <br />1. The proposed pool would be located bem een the house and gazebo on the lake side of the <br />residence. The residence was located on the property prior to the 150' setback requirement <br />for Lake Classen. <br />2. The pool would be located above the hill and would be well above the flood plain or areas <br />affected by the HWL of Lake Classen. <br />3. Placing the pool behind the principal residence would not function well as it would be <br />located in the front of the house towards the street. Typically, pools would be located behind <br />the house in a back yard. Also, the street yard is the site of the septic system and alternate <br />site, leaving no other reasonable location for the pool. <br />4. The gazebo and dense vegetation would screen the pool from view to adjacent residences. <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />The pool at the proposed location would appear to have little impact on the neighborhood and would <br />have little or no impact on views by either neighboring property. The proposed hardcover would be <br />within allowed percentages as required by the Zoning Code. Staff recommends approval of the <br />variance. <br />^ Of-.. <br />Options for Action: <br />1. Recommend approval. <br />2. Recommend denial, stating reasons. <br />3. Table. <br />4. Other action. <br />#2625 Karen J. and Morgan NeUoo <br />3145 Jamestown Road <br />Variances <br />Page 2
