Zoning File #2110 February 14,1996 Page 3 Review of Application ces and technically hardcover variances for nd 150' setback area of French Lake, South :e in 1983, the 75' setback from French Lake Applicant seeks approval of lakeshore setback structural additions to be installed between the Basin. At the time of the construction of the res was the required setback. Note the entire structure is located within the 75-150' setback area resulting in approximately 6,444 s.f. ot non-contorming structural hardcover. The proposed improvement will result in structural additions of 346 s.f placed over an existing deck, review Exhibits K and P. As entire structure is located within the 75-150' setback area, any addition proposed for this residence would require both setback and hardcover approvals. Please note all non-structural improvements, such as grade-level patios, landscaping with plastic, paving for roadway, etc., would be allowed in the 75-150' setback area. Once again review Exhibit K and now Q. Applicant's sur\ eyor originally designated 150' setback from the north shoreline of the North Basin of French Lake. Members may remember the amendment that reclassified French Lake North Basin to a wetland now requiring only a 26' setback from the 930.5 elevation. Applicant's hardcover and legal building envelopes should be redefined. Note applicant's hardcover facts reveal that the area of both Lots 1, 2 and 3 have been considered. The properties are not legally combined. It is not clear what applicant's intention is for the use of the property in the future. Note that there is 29.1% hardcover in the 75-250' zone if Lot 2 or applicant's homestead parcel is only considered. A 4.1% excess of hardco\er e.xists in the 75-150 setback area of Lot 2. Review Exhibits K and N, the City has no record of issuing a permit for the detached garage that encroaches within both Lots 2 and *3. Applicant's architect advised that he determined the structure was probably built soon after the residence in 1983. Note the slight encroachment of the existing residence and portions of deck. In 1983 and 1986. the 75' setback would have been determined from the actual water level of the South Basin as the OHWL was not established at that lime. There is approximately 37.5 s.f of principal structure and 40 s. f of the lakeside deck within the 0-75’ setback area. The additions will have no impact on adjacent residences but will provide applicant with expansion room for the family room and dining area. The additions will not extend beyond the existing three season porch lakeside addition. Review of Hardships Please refer to E.xhibit B. The hardships are reviewed as follows;
