Zoning File #2187 November 14, 1996 Page 4 the removal of the detached garage located 123' from the lake and the construction of new additions located 140' from the lake is a positive improvement to the conformity of the property. It may be more difficult to make the finding that removal of that garage and construction of new additions involving greater square footage than the garage and located 126' from the lake, is a positive improvement in conformity. Perhaps it is at best an equivalent tradeoff. Average Lakeshore Setback As with the June application, since there is no adjacent lakeshore reai^t* ''•c directiy to the west, the encroachment is reasonably defined by the lake setback of the house to the east. Resolution No. 3737 found that removal of the existing garage and construction of a new attached garage and room as proposed would result in a reduction of the existing average lakeshore setback encroachment fix)m 90' to approximately 75'. The current plan similarly proN'ides potential additional views of the lake to the neighboring property, and does not provide any additional view encroachments. The proposal, therefore, has a positive impact on the neighboring property based on the intent of the average lakeshore setback ordinance. Guest Apartment Conditional Use Permit Please review Exhibit H, the standards for a non-rental guest apartment. As a guest apartment which is within the principal residence structure, there is no "double lot area" requirement. However, the requirements for a guest apartment conditional use permit were developed by the Planning Commission and Council in 1987 to make sure that guest apartments do not become rental units, and that such apartments are constructed so as not to be construed as duplex units either visually or functionally. The guest apartment standards in Section 10.20 include the following: 1. 2. The apartment must be within the principal residence structure on the lot. It is for the sole use of the occupants of the principal residence including their domestic employees or non-paying guests. 3.There shall be at least one access door to the apartment from within the principal structure, and such door shall be the primary access to the apartment. 4.Application for a guest apartment CUP shall address parking, sewage treatment, entrywa> and interior access methods. 5.Apartments shall not have utilities metered separately from the principal residence and shall not have a separate street address.
