The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. The Applicants was present. Gaffron reported that the property in question was a 3.4 acre lot. the bulk of which is located in the 0-7.S' setback, with 17,600 s f in the 0-7.S' .setback and 11,000 s f in the 75- 250’ setback Tbe bouse on the property is small and mostly located within the 0-75’ setback. The single car garage encroaches into the right-of-way. Gaftron said the pi’oposal to purchase the property is contingent on approval of the additions. .An addition is proposed to the rear, non-lakeside of the house, but still partially in the 0-75’ setback. A second story is also planned The garage will be removed and replaced by a 2-car attached earaee. Gaffron informed the Planning Commission that the variances required for this proposal are for hardcover, side setback to the east, proposed at 18' where 30' is required, and street setback. The attached garage requires a 50’ street setback and is proposed at T. Gaffron said Staff recommends a 10’ setback to the street lot line. The normal setback for a detached garage, when doors are to the side, is 10', which Gaffron said should be strived for. Gaffron reported th.at the average depth of the lot is such that there is no buildable envelope The existing house does not meet .setbacks Any upward changes results in visual impacts Gaffron said it should be noted that the height of the stnicture be limited to 2 stories. If thus limit \vas not placed in the resolution, the structure could be built to 2- I.-'2 stories. .Any m.ore than 2 stories would not fit the neighoorhood and would be disproportionate from the street view. A letter from the neighbor to the east stated his ODDOsition to allowina a side setback less than the 30' reauirement. Gaffron said there• 4 • could be ramifications to changing the saraoe to the other end of the house.
