J Staff Notes re: average lakeshore setback K Approval Resolution Description of Request The applicant proposes to build a new residence on a vacant lot. The lot has been vacant because a hazardous building was removed from the site. The proposed design includes a basement, two levels of living space and an observatory. A double garage is proposed with access off of Concordia Street. The applicant requests an average lakeshore setback variance to allow the proposed deck of the new residence to encroach 8' into the required setback. The applicant is also requesting a height variance of r 4" to be able to have an observatory. The applicant has reduced the original height of the observatory by using a different construction method which lowers the proposed height. Issues 1. This is a comer lot. There are two side yards and one front yard. 2 The lot size is conforming to the LRl-C lot size requirements. The proposed side yard setbacks exceed the minimum standards. 3. 4. 5. 6. The proposed deck encroaches approximately 8' into the average lakeshore setback The deck would be located approximately 103' from the shoreline. The deck will not interfere with lakeviews for any adjacent properties. The building height has been reduced since the plans were originally drawn. The height variance has been reduced from 2' 5" to 1'4'. The lot has been combined into one tax parcel. The proposed design is in conformance with structural coverage and hardcover requirements. 7. The applicant has designed the new structure to save mature trees on the property. 8.Moving the structure further to the north would impact the root system of a large tree and reduce the parking pad from 20’ to 15' which could not accommodate some longer vehicles. It would also cause the garage to encroach further into the side yard along Concordia which is a front yard for adjacent properties. #2220, William and Karen Peters 1950 Concordia Street-Variances 3/17/97 PC 3/24/97 CC page-4
