4. 5. 6. 7. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council may not permit as a variance for any use that is not permitted under this Chapter for the property in the zone where the affected person's land is located. The deck is permitted in this zoning district. The special conditions applying to the structure of land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property. The residence is on a lot of record that does not meet current zoning requirements. Due to the limited lot size, meeting hardcover and lakeshore setback restrictions is difficult. The property is also located at the end of a long shared driveway and its location on this driveway is the reason for it being located closer to the lake than the adjacent residences. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said land is located. The immediately adjoining properties were also platted prior to current zoning requirements but they were not built as close to the lakeshore. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The applicants would not be able to retain the deck replacement without the granting of variances. 8. The granting of such variances will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or difficulty. The deck replacement is similar to the previous one and would not intensify non conformance beyond what existed. Issues 1.The property does not meet lot area or width requirements. The substandard lot size creates a difficulty in meeting hardcover and lakeshore setback requirements. 2.Variances were granted in 1992 to allow the garage on the southwest portion of the lot. The intent of the garage was to replace several accessory structures on the property that had a greater combined footprint. M2351 Laura Zauner 3262 North Shore Drive Variances March 16. 1998 Page^ 1 4
