The lakeshore setbacks coupled with the required setbacks <br />of the LR-1B zoning district allow for a very small building envelope. Said building envelope is not large <br />enough for the construction of a new home. The applicant has also identified the placement of the <br />existing home within the required lakeshore setbacks as a practical difficulty. <br /> <br />Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: Staff agrees with the applicant’s assessment. The location of the <br />property and substandard size creates practical difficulties when adhering to the zoning districts setbacks <br />as well as the 75-foot lakeshore setback and average lakeshore setback. The permitted building envelope <br />is not sufficient for the construction of a new single-family home. The unique lot shape and substandard <br />size as well as the placement of the existing structures are all practical difficulties when remodeling or <br />constructing a new home on the lot. The proposal is to tear down the existing home and detached garage <br />and use the existing foundation to construct a new home. Additional square footage will be added in the <br />form of an attached garage and a second story. The proposal will bring the lot into conformance with <br />hardcover bringing the property down from 25.01% to 23.68% total hardcover. <br /> <br />LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br /> <br />Section 78-350 & 78-1279 – Setbacks: <br />LR-1B District Required Existing Proposed <br />Rear/Street 30’ 24.6’ 21.4’ <br />North Side 10’ 60.1’ 60.1’ <br />South Side 10’ 9.5 (detached garage to be <br />removed) 13.2’ <br />Lakeshore 75’ House 44.5’ Deck -38’ No Change <br />Average Lakeshore Much of the northeastern portion of the home is in front of <br />the ALS <br /> <br />Section 78-350 – Lot Area/Width: <br />LR-1B District Lot Area Lot Width <br />Required 43,560 s.f.
