r The vjiriance will not impair health, safety, comfort or morals. 12.The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or difficulty. The Planning Commission and City Council previously determined a demonstrable hardship exists for the applicant. Issues I The existing residence is located almost entirely within the O' to 75' lakeshore setback, necessitating variances for any additions. 2. 3. Much of the proposed hardcover will be located over existing hardcover. Existing trees and vegetation would screen the proposed additions, creating no adverse impact on lake views. 4.A resolution had been approved in July 1996 granting variances for lakeshore setback, average lakeshore setback and hardcover in the O' to 75' lakeshore setback. These variances elapsed as the arr- failed to acquire a building permit within one year of the variances being granted. 5.The amount of existing and proposed hardcover for the subject property has increased according to the latest revision of hardcover worksheets (Attachment I) versus the amounts on the previous hardcover worksheets submitted (Attachment J). 6.Hardcover reductions which were to be undertaken as a provision of the previous resolution are not addressed in the latest hardcover calculations. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of renewal for the necessary variances to construct an addition to the existing residence, a bay window addition, entry structure, as well as steps and additional pavement. Staff recommends approval of a lakeshore setback variance 33' and 35.4' for the proposed west addition and bay addition, respectively to allow setbacks of 42' and 39.6' where 75' is required. §230 J Angela Woodhouse 2625 Norih Shore Drive Variances October 20, 1997 Page 5
