5. 6. A.The property conforms to the minimum lot width at the 75' setback, where 100' is required and 113' exists. B The proposed new construction removes hardcover in the northerly and southerly 0-75' setbacks. C. D. The proposed plan reduces the total amount of hardcover on site. The proposed plan meets the average lakeshore, lakeshore, and side yard setbacks. The proposed plan conforms to the structural lot coverage requirement. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
