Envelopes with address labels were <br />submitted and the neighbors have been notified of the Public Hearing. <br />Per the site plan sketched by staff, the following variances are <br />required in order for this deck construction to continue: <br />A) Construction in the 0-75' setback zone where no construction <br />is normally allowed. The proposed deck is approximately 58' from <br />the normal shoreline. <br />B) Hardcover in the 0-75' setback zone, excluding the paved road <br />from the calculation is 20.0%, and with the deck would increase <br />to 27.4%. <br />C) Per the average lakeshore setback diagram, the applicant's <br />deck encroaches approximately 10' lakeward of the average <br />lakeshore setback line, as defined by structure on the <br />neighboring properties. <br />Discussion - <br />The applicant's only legitimate hardship in staff's opinion is that <br />the existing house is located in the 0-75' setback zone, and was <br />constructed prior to the 75' setback requirement. The actual house <br />structure extends towards the lakeshore in such a manner that any deck on <br />that side of the house will require an average setback variance. From a <br />hardcover perspective, the property has excessive hardcover percentages <br />based on code standards, but d'^es not contain excessive unnecessary hard <br />surface areas that could be removed to mitigate the hardcover addition. <br />Staff Reconmendation <br />Given the lack of a survey which is normally required for every <br />variance of this type, staff finds it difficult to recommend approval of <br />the requested variances although the applicant may have legitimate <br />hardships for requesting variances. <br />\ i <br />iL <br />Zoning <br />Septern <br />Page 3
