Structural Coverage The lot does not exceed the allowed lot coverage of 15%, ANALYSIS Variance STATEMENT OF HARDSHIP The applicant's have included their statement of hardship in Exhibit B. The applicant should also be asked for their testimony regarding this issue. Criteria for Determining Undue Hardship 1.The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. The applicants have begun construction of the home as per the approved hardcover and average lakeshore setback. As a result of obtaining a building permit within one year of the variance approval they can utilize the 26.7% hardcover for the plan as presented in Zoning Application #2265. The new site plan would require an average lakeshore setback variance to allow the revised house plan and the pool. A hardcover variance would have to be approved to allow the construction of the pool. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner. The property's sight lines are not affected by placing the home closer to the lake than the Average Lakeshore Setback. The setback line is pushed back on the lot as a result of being located on a peninsula. The hardcover variance tor the same amount of hardcover was approved last year, but the plan change to allow a pool would require another variance. It should be noted the lot is pie shaped limiting the land located within the 75-250' setback. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
