4. 5. A. B. C. The property is a long narrow lot measuring 140' in width and totalling 2.3 acres in area. The majority of hardcover improvements are located within the 7^-250’ setback area. Hardcover within the 75-250’ setback area shall be reduced by a 132 s.f. or 0.507c. There is 0% hardcover in the 0-75’ setback; there is a 7.16% hardcovc’- in the 250-500’ setback area where 30% is allowed; and 7.17% in the 500-1,000’ setback area where 35% is allowed. The sloping lake yard topography and mature forested area in the west yard already places visual impacts upon the views of the adjacent properties. The sloping topography minimizes the impact of the strucmral improvements to the lakeside of the residence upon the residence to the west side. The lake views of the property at the east side are impacted by the mature plantings in the lakeshore yard. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
