Issues 1. 2. The subject lot does not meet lot width, lot area, hardcover, or structural coverage requirements. Average lakeshore setback is not an issue with this property. The topography of the zoning lot is higher at the street yard and slopes down to the house and lakeshore. 3. 4. 5. The existing residence is 3.4' from the west property line. The applicant should discuss obtaining a maintenance easement from the adjacent property owner to be able to maintain the west side of the residence and the chimney. If the adjacent property owner decided to construct a fence on the property line, the subject property owner would have difficulty making improvements to the residence. There is a considerable amount of rock over plastic on the property. llie existing deck should not be enclosed or remodeled because it w'ould require additional variances. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adding a second level is the only available option for the occupants to add additional living space. This option requires a side yard variance. It is not practical for the applicant to relocate the residence to fit inside the allowed building pad. Removing the house and keeping the garage would be restricted to a footprint approximately 384.55 sq. ft. larger than the existing residence. This amount does not include the deck or porch. The house, deck, and porch exceed the 15% limit by 68.85 sq. ft. The Planning Commission needs to discuss the impact of adding structure to a building that currently encroaches in the required side yard given the limitations of the lot.
