MINUTBS OF THr. PLAmillG COMMISSION 1\A :•TING NOVEMBER 21, 1988 ZONING FILE #1350~BORN CONTINUED Planning Commission member Bellows inquired as to the square footage of the existing house. Mr. Born replied that it was 709 s.f. total. Bellows observed that because of this application being unique» there would be little or no possibility of precedent setting. Kelley concurred. Bellows went on to say that she would not see a problem with approving the side setback, but in terms of the 17' setback, she agreed with Hanson. She suggested pushing the addition back another 8'. Mr. Born stated that moving the addition 8' more from the lake would create a problem because of the need to expand existing rooms on the first floor. To move the addition 8 feet would prohibit the desired expansion. Mabusth pointed out the fact that moving the house forward would create the need for a street setback variance. The house is only 53* from the roadway. Kelley stated that he would rather have the house adhere to the street setback, than the lakeshore setback because of the safety factor as no one knows the future expansion plans of the County. Bellows agreed with Kelley, adding that she would withdraw her objections to the lakeshore setback variance and noted for the record the major reduction of hardcover within the 0-75' setback area. There were no comments from the public regarding this matter and the public hearing was closed. It was moved by Chairman Kelley, seconded by Planning Commission member Moos, to recommend approval of this application. The hardships involved in this matter are the small lot, maintaining the 50* setback from County Road 15, and the curvature of the lakeshore. Kelley commended the Borns for acquiring additional property and working with the hardcover on the property. Planning Commission member Brown stated that he objected to the side yard setback variance due to the fact that the subdivision was new. Kelley stated that the lot line could be gerrymandered to address that concern. Mabusth interjected that filing the division at the County may cause problems when dealing with a metes and bounds division. Kelley said that the proposed 24* was an improvement over the existing 12* from the house to the lot line. Hanson stated that the Borns had done everything possible, with the exception of buying the entire neighboring parcel, to work with the City and add on to his house. Motion, Ayes=6, Nays=0, Motion passed. #1352 CHARLES SCHOEN 2430/2460 NORTH SHORE DRIVE SUBDIVISION OF A LOT LINE REARRANGEMENT PUBLIC HEARING 8:05 P.M. - 8:07 P.M.
