<br /> <br />Intent: The purpose for the regulation is to protect neighboring views of the lake across property <br />lines. <br /> <br />Challenges: The setback is unique to each property and each specific building at time of <br />development. A curved lakeshore, an extreme neighbor setback, or a parcel that abuts a channel <br />create a variety of challenges for implementing the ALS. <br /> <br />In theory when the lakeshore is straight and when properties are uniform in size, the ALS <br />achieves the goal of protecting views of the lake from neighboring homes. The City often grants <br />variances for ALS when requested as long at the proposed project does not negatively impact the <br />neighbor’s views. <br /> <br />Staff will provide examples of the setback throughout the city, research from neighboring cities <br />and go over some items to consider for implementing the ALS. <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTON REQUESTED: <br />Council should review the provided information and discuss the goal and intent of the ordinance. <br />Provide guidance pertaining to the ALS regulation <br />
