Zoning File #2169 September 11, 1996 Page 2 L - Lake Elevation M - Second Floor Plan N - Lower Level Floor Plan Review of Application This is the first renewal variance application filed by the current owner. The original variance was granted to the applicant in 1991. The former ovvner had presented two variance applications proposing the same size two story addition to the east side of the residence. The current application involves minor changes. A new survey places the addition 4’ in front of the average lakeshorc setback where the original lakeshore setback survey for the earlier reviews was determined to be approximately l‘/a'. The current survey has more accurately defined the encroachment that results in a 2‘/i' further expansion beyond the lakeshore setback line. Members are asked to stand at the appro.ximate Ic .ation of the addition and note the view windows of the adjacent residences. WTien standing at the lakeshore setback of the proposed addition, it is difficult to note any encroachment of the average lakeshore setback line. The encroachment is minor and will have no visual impact upon the adjacent residences. Applicant ’s hardcover facts, proposed at 5,995 s.f, do not reflect the removal of the 168 s.f. of detached structure. There is nothing to suggest that the Council will change from its original approval in 1991. Staff has adjusted hardcover at 5,827 s.f. or 25.5%. There are slight changes in the floor plans of the current proposal from the original proposals presented to the City. Compare Exhibits F and H with I through N, the 2' e.xtension into the lakeshore yard in the original proposal involved a lower level enclosed porch with an upper level balcony where the current proposal involves a 2' two stor>' bay addition. The lower level plan still provides new living room/dining area with an expanded formal entry. The upper level consists of a master bedroom suite. In the 1991 application, the City considered reductions in the generous paved area adjacent to residence but soon realized the need for a backout area for safe access to County road and also noted the location of the retaining wall surrounding paved area. Members may review the resolution of 1991, Exhibit E. Staff would recommend the adoption of the findings and conditions set forth in that resolution, although members may wish to amend or add additional conditions. Options of Action To either amend or adopt the findings and conditions of Resolution No. 3053. ----------- • I
