r Zoning File #1210 October 13, 1987 Page 3 of 4 Discussion The applicant seeks a conditional use permit to allow the construction of a guest house, non-rental unit on his grandfather's homestead (Peter M* Dougall) totaling over two acres in area. Mr. Dougall woul ^ like his grandson near him (close by); review applicant's addendum. The property is located in the LR-IC zoning district requiring % acre in area. Per Section 10.20, Subdivision 3 (G), in selecting a site for a guest house, the structure must meet all lot requirements. In other words, if the property was to be divided in the future, a lot could be created that would satisfy all LR-IC standards - lot width of 100 feet; lot area of H acre, side setback of 10 feet, rear setback of 30 feet. The lakeshore setback is governed by the minimum 75 feet setback and the average lakeshore setback determined by existing residence buildings. The applicant has presented a proposed 3 lot division of the property. Lot 2 is severely restricted by the location of the adjacent residence structure on the lot to the immediate north. If the house was to be moved closer to the lake where the lot line has been aligned to a 100 feet width, the average lakeshore setback variance would be even more excessive. Note that vhe new guest house has been placed along the same front line setback as the existing guest house/cabin. There is no record of a conditional use permit ever being issued for the existing guest cabin. Staff has discussed the dilema of the average lakeshore setback line with the applicant. He has been advised that proposed Lot 1 would be a simple, quick remedy to the setback problem as the house would be located far out of the lake view line. Jones advises that when the property ownership changes, a 3 lot division is inevitable. His grandfather's house is in excellent condition and would most likely not be rebuilt. The obvious conforming building pad for proposed i-ot 2 is closer to the lake. He asks that the City consider the issue of the average lakeshore setback with the current application. He proposes the guest house no closer than the existing cabin but at that location the future lot cannot meet the required 100 feet width because of the proximity of the Dougall residence. Elevations of the proposed house are a necessity in dealing with average lakeshore setback matters. Hopefully, Jones will have these for consideration at your meeting. The neighbor to the north has not submitted anything in writing concering this proposal. The owner's attorney, Bruce Thompson, has visited the office to discuss the application. We have been advised that Mr. Howard is greatly concerned that the proposed house will restict his view of the lake. Staff has noted that the new structure will be 10 feet instead of 6 to 7 feet from the side lot line. Note that retaining wall structures on Howard property encroach the Dougall property along the shared lot line. The elevations are such that a single story residence may have little effect on the lake view windows of the Howard residence but these are concerns that have yet to be addressed by applicant.
