LA23-00002 - 1449 AND 1475 SHORELINE DRIVE, VACATION – RESOLUTION NO. <br />7361 <br />Community Development Director Oakden explained this proposal is to vacate portions of unused right- <br />of-way abutting 1449 and 1475 Shoreline Drive. The right-of-way was acquired by the County in 2020 <br />for the County Rd. 15 and the Tanager Bridge project. Portions of that right-of-way were not needed to <br />support the road improvements. She said at this time it is appropriate to vacate the unused rights-of-way <br />and the County returns them to the City as the governing body to complete that vacation process. <br /> <br />Benson said her purpose in asking for this item to be removed from the consent agenda was to get <br />clarification of the reason for the vacation, which Oakden’s report provided. <br /> <br />Seals moved, Johnson seconded, to approve LA23-00002 - 1449 and 1475 Shoreline Drive, Vacation <br />– Resolution NO. 7361,.

The applicant is proposing to build a new two-story home on the existing <br />footprint. Because the home and property are non-conforming, she said, the following variances are <br />requested: side yard setback variance on the north side to permit a 2.7 foot setback from the side lot line; <br />a 75-foot Lake setback variance due to the majority of the property being located in the 75-foot setback; <br />an average Lakeshore setback variance to permit a 1.4 foot encroachment into the average Lakeshore <br />setback consistent with the existing home on the property; and hardcover variances to permit hardcover in
