Staff would suggest this is very consistent with previus approvales in the neighborhood, and would also suggest that the existing garage location is unsafe and staff would envision the applicant or a future owner requesting to construct a new garage someday. Presuming a future 24'x20' garage and 30'xl6' driveway, future hardcover on the lot would have to be as high as 39% in the 75-250' zone in order to provide a safe garage and driveway apron. IV. Side Setbacks: Centering the house on the lot, with 7' side setbacks on either side, leaves about 10' between 2024 and 2032, and about 17' between 2024 and 2016. (2024 will be centered on its own lot but visually will be offset to one side even more than it is now — existing house-to-house setbacks are 12' left, 15' right . . .} We recommend centering the houes on the lot so that access around both sides of the house is feasible, and to accommodate drainage, utilities, etc., etc. V. Average Lakeshore Setbacks: Applicant requests that in determining the average setback line, consideration be given to the fact that the neighbor's deck at 2032 Shadywood Road has a 14' long fence, 6' effective height above ground, 90% opaque, sticking out lakeward from the house, plus a second—story deck above it. Given the location of the 75' setback line (and the tendency for houses near it to extend decks over it) staff would recommend that the average setback required for the relocated house structure be no further lakeward than the average house setback line shown on Exhibit F, (about 1^' behind 2032, about 1%' in front of 2016) and that the average deck setback should be as shown. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the lor area and lot vridth variances, finding no additional land available and that there is an existing house on the property. Staff recommends that the hardcover variances as proposed (0-75' hardcover = 6.8%, 75-250' = 30.8%) be approved, finding that those percentages are consistent with previous approvals in the area. Staff recommends that the side setbacks for 7' either ride be approved, finding that this is a better situation than the •;.isting setbacks. Staff recommends that no variances be granted to tto average lakeshore setback for the house structure and that the required verage house structure setback be as shown on Exhibit F. Staff recommends that the second story deck extending eastward from the house is allowed up to the average setback line as shown on Exhibit F, subject to a maximum opaqueness of, say 25% (standard railing would be about 20% opaque, figuring 1^5" posts- with o- maximum openings). ?S) !r^ O
