Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator <br />Date:October 15, 1987 <br />Subject: #1213 Rollin Lacy, 2f>55 North Shore Drive - <br />Variances - Public Hearing <br />Pertinent Ordlnances- <br />1. Section 10.23, Subdivision 6 B - Side/Street Setback. <br />2.Section 1G.22, Subdivision 2 - Hardcover 75-250'. <br />Side/Street Setback <br />Required *= 50' <br />Proposed »= 30' (edge of property line) <br />50'+ (to east edge of 33 feet public access) <br />Hardcover 75-250' Area = 36,900 s.f. <br />Allowed «= 9,225 s.f. or 25% <br />Existing = 11,100 s.f. or 30.i% <br />Proposed = 12,995 s.f. or 35.2% <br />Increased Hardcover = 1,895 s.f.or 5.1% <br />Pertinent Pacts - <br />Zoning District - LR-IA <br />Total Area = 75,100 s.f. or 1.72 acres (exclusive lake easement area) <br />= 95,400 s.f. or 2.19 acres (including lake access) <br />Pertinent Issues - <br />1. The lake access to the east of the property was involved in a long <br />legal battle involving the City and the affected property owner. Briefly# <br />the plat that created the access was filed lacking necessary documentation <br />confirming public dedication. The property on the east side of the access <br />is torrens (registered land). Because of the filing irregularity, the City <br />Attorney opined that the 33 feet easement was not valid and not within the <br />public domain. The Lacy property (formerly Rector homestead) is abstract <br />property and it was the City Attorney's opinion this was a valid easement <br />and was to remain in the public domain. The City maintains a 15 feet wide <br />strip for limited access to the lake. The easement of 33 feet will never <br />serve as a major access to the lake. <br />2. The applicant has made design changes in plans submitted with <br />application - trimming back structural expansion along the west side of <br />house (see Exhibit G). The applicant's architect will have revised plans <br />ready for your meeting. Staff has met with applicant and we have attempted <br />to present a revised sketch for your packet (see Exhibit F). The architect <br />has provided staff with revised hardcover calculations and these <br />calculations are reflected above. <br />3. The applicant proposes removal of both structural and paving hardcover <br />to offset hardcover from the major remodeling and additions to home (review <br />Exhibit E)
