Date of Application: 12/16/98 <br />Completion Date: 1/08/99 <br />60-day limit: 3/08/99 <br />The lot is subject to a greater restrictions for hardcover due to the channel on the west side of the <br />property. A 75' lakeshore setback for hardcover location applies to both the lake and channel side <br />of the property. The existing residence is partially located in the 75' setback from the lake. The <br />proposed addition includes removing hardcover in both setbacks. <br />STATEMENT OF HARDSHIP <br />The architect has provided a statement in Exhibit B. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />No additions or remodeling can occur on this property without a hardcover variance because the <br />amount of hardcover in the 75' to 250' setback exceeds the 25% limitation. The existing residence <br />is located entirely outside of the building setback area. To locate a new building within the required <br />setback area, the topography would have to be changed because the high point of the lot is where <br />the house is currently located. A low lying area below the 931 elevation is also in the building <br />setback area. <br />Staff recommends approval of the requested variances and conditional use permit due to the <br />uniqueness of the lot and the existing topography and the reduction of hardcover. <br />U2447 Bichanich for Woodhouse <br />885 Ferndale Road iyest <br />PC-1/19/99 <br />page-4
