The existing residence is partially located in the required bluff setback area and the average lakeshore setback area. The existing amount of hardcover is slightly less than 1% of the maximum amount allowed. Very few, if any, changes can be made to this residence without requiring a variance. If the structure were removed, a lot area, lot width and bluff setback variance would most likely be required. (^See building pad exhibit). ISSU£S 1. The subject property does not meet the lot area, lot width or bluff setback requirements. 2. The existing residence is located ahead of the average lakeshore setback. 3. The residence was built before 1956 and has a 905 sq. ft. footprint. 4.The topography of the subject lot rises 25 ft. from the shoreline to the lakeside of the residence. A ravine is located along the east side of the property. The garage is located at a higher elevation than the house. 5.The adjacent residence to the west does not meet the side yard setback. It is located 2.5' from the property line. The applicant has indicated that he does not want to build into the side yard because it would further reduce the distance between the principal structures. 6. 7. The adjacent property also has a garage that is located 1.5 ft. from the property line. The proximity of this garage to the property line and its relationship to the street blocks sight lines for exiting from the subject property. Therefore, the driveway turnout should remain to allow the residents to have better visibility in backing out of the garage and entering onto the street. The proposed alternate design does not further encroach on the bluff setback and does not interfere with views. STAFF RECOMMENDATION To discuss the alternate plan and review the requested variances.
