The applicant's have demonstrated a hardship by the location of the lot on a point affecting the location of the Average Lakeshore Setback. It has also been demonstrated there would be minimal visual impact on the neighborhood. Issues 1.The applicants are requesting a variance from Average Lakeshore Setback requirements to allow a slight plan change to the residence and adding a swimming pool on the north side of the property. 2. 3. 4. The lots are not consistent in the direction they face the lake. All lot requirements would be met by the proposal. On July 28, 1997 the City Council issued a variance from allowed hardcover in the 75- 250' lakeshore setback to allow the construction of a new residence with additional driveway space. The new proposal would permit trading hardcover from the driveway for the swimming pool. 5.As a conditional of the approval for hardcover of 26.7% in the 75-250' setback the applicants would remove a structure that encroaches into the side yard setback. 6. The property contains a small guest house that would remain on the property. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the variance from Average Lakeshore Setback requirements based on prior approvals for average lakeshore setback and to allow hardcover of 26.7%.
