Request iur Council Action continued page 2 of 3 August 21, 1997 Zoning File #2264 the City setback requirements if that was deemed feasible and appropriate. At their July 21st meeting, Planning Commission indicated a preference that the new construction be moved to at least meet the 75 ’ lakeshore setback, including the semi-circular terrace. The item was tabled at that meeting to allow applicant to further consider her options. Applicant subsequently reviewed the options for retaining significant poi aons of the existing house to avoid the need to relocate it. Two new plans, A & B, were submitted to the Planning Commission for review at their August 18th meeting. Applicant indicated on the floor plan submitted in support of Plan A, the portions of existing house which will remain. The building inspectors reviewed the proposal and concluded that both of the new plans will preserve approximately 40% of the existing house, yielding a fmal product that will be 80% new construction and 20% existing house. Applicant then confirmed that she is proposing to construct Plan B. This plan eliminates the new encroachments into the lakeshore and side setbacks, and was reviewed by Planning Commission in the context of revisions to the magnitude of average lakeshore setback encroachment. This plan (identified as Plan B) has a slightly higher profile for the addition portion as compared to the 1996 approved plan, but Planning Commission concluded that under the general parameters approved in 1996, Plan B will have no impact on views of the lake enjoyed by the neighboring property owners. Planning Commission Recommendation Planning Commission recommended approval of Plan B, which includes continuation of the existing lake setback and side setback variances, slightly revises the average lakeshore setback, and which is intended to result in the same hardcover parameters as were approved in 1996. Approval was subject to applicant providing a comprehensive site plan for Plan B, as well as complete elevation views, prior to Council review. These have been submitted (Exhibit C). Staff Recommendation Given that the final Plan B site plan continues the general concepts of the approved 1996 site plan, including relocation of the driveway and an addition to the existing garage, and given that the current proposal has been presented by the applicant with the full knowledge that hardcover ultimately must not exceed those limits approved in 1996, staff recommends approval per the Planning Commission recommendation. Approval should be subject to the following conditions: 1.Prior to issuance of building permit, applicant must confirm that hardcover meets the limits as per prior approval, including a reduction from 6.0% to 3.9% in the 0-75' zone.
