Building Sl Zoning Administrator ^ <br />June 10. 1993 <br />#1825 Thomas L. McCarthy, 2490 Old Beach Road - Preliminary Subdivision. <br />Class III <br />Additional Exhibits <br />I • Amended Hardcover Facts Submined for Lot 1 Under Alternative B <br />Brief Review of Application <br />The proposed two-lot subdivision is the first subdivision of a lakeshore property under <br />the new Shoreiand Regulations. The property consists of a little over two acres. The applicant <br />provided two ahemative plans for development. Review Exhibits G and H. Alternate A was <br />immediately set aside as it would have involved an area variance for proposed Lot 2. Easement <br />areas must be deducted from the area of a proposed lot. The new Shoreiand Regulations would <br />now allow flag lots as lot widths are measured in a straight line at both shoreiand and at the 75' <br />setback line. <br />The major issue for this review has been the excess of hardcover within the 250-500’ <br />setback area resulting from the impact of driveway '.ardcover on the narrow 20’ corridor to <br />roadway. As this was the flrst subdivision application under the new Shoreiand Regulation, we <br />have no previous policies to base a recommendation. Staff suggested that PUnniiv Commissioo <br />consider the area between the 75-500’ setback for determintiig allo%ired hardcover. Total area <br />would now be at 29.700 s.f. and would be allowed 7.425 s.f. or 25% hardcover. The Plannii^ <br />Commission felt uncomfortable making any recommendation concerning this issue and felt it <br />more appropriate for Council to make the flnai decision. <br />The Planning Commission denied the application based on the fact that a hardcover <br />excess existed within the 250-500’ setback area and that the Planning Commission would not <br />recommend approval of a subdivision where a variance was required. <br />Review Exhibits H and I. The applicant has submitted a revised hardcover proposal <br />for proposed Lot 1. Lot coverage is reviewed as follows: <br />Alternate B - Lot 1 <br />0-75’ setback area = 14,000 s.f. <br />Allowed s 0 s.f. <br />Proposed = 0 s.f
