The lot’s narrowness and location along the channel result in no building <br />envelope for conforming development. The small lot size and the owners’ desire to preserve the mature <br />oaks along the channel also create development obstacles. <br /> <br />LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br /> <br />Section 78-350 & 78-1279 – Setbacks: <br /> <br />LR-1C Required Existing Proposed <br />Street/Rear 30’ 39.1’ 39.1’ <br />North Side *7.5’ 2.7’ 2.7’ <br />Channel Side/Lakeshore 75’ 33.2’ 33.2’ <br />Lakeshore 75’ 43.3’ 43.3’ <br />Average Lakeshore <br />The ALS set by the home to the north is 44.5- feet. The existing <br />and proposed home encroaches approximately 1.4 feet <br />lakeward of the ALS. <br /> <br />Section 78-350 – Lot Area/Width: <br /> <br />LR-1C Lot Area Lot Width <br />Required 21,780 s.f. (0.5 acres) 100’ <br />Actual 10,485 s.f. (0.24 acre) 158’ at the OHWL <br />*This lot functions as a “corner” lakeshore lot and for the purposes of width measurement. The frontage on <br />the lake proper (the east shoreline) is 53 feet wide at the OHWL and 70 feet at the 75 foot setback. <br />Technically, the width could be measured as 158 feet wide from point-to-point at the OHWL. However, staff <br />has applied the side setback flexibility to this lot allowing for a 7.5-foot side setback (10% of the lot’s width <br />but not less than 7.5 feet). <br /> <br />Section 78-1403 – Structural Building Coverage: <br /> <br />Total Lot Area Total Structural Coverage <br />10,485 s.f.
