Tos Frcxn: Date: Planning Commission Chairman Kelley Orono Planning Commission Members City Administrator Bernhardson Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator April 29, 1987 Subject: #1140 Tom Berthiaume/Cherryl Kachenmeister, 3035 Casco Point Poad Variance - Public Hearing Application - Construct 2nd story bedroom/bath addition over portion of existing house with existing substandard setback. Zoning District - LR-IC, %-acre seweied List of Exhibits Exhibit A • Exhibit B • Exhibit C ■ Exhibit D • Exhibit E ' Pertinent Facts - Side Setback Application Plat Map Property Owners List/Neighbor Acknowledgements Survey Survey With Staff Sketch m Existing 7.1' Required 10' Variance 2.9' or 29% r. • *i ? ■ - .4 view encroachment caused by addition: None Discussion - The applicants propose to construct a 2nd story bedroom and bathroom addition over the existing garage, which is 7.1 feet from the side lot line. There will be no resultant encroachment on any lake views of either neighbor. There is no average setback encroachment. There is no additional hardcover proposed since the addition will be entirely above the existing garage. Note that applicant really has no expansion options except to go upward, since the lot is narrow and existing 75-250' hardcover appears to be in the range of 50% to 60% or higher. The neighboring house to the south is perhaps 40' from the applicants' residence, hence construction upward from the garage will pose no problems as far as structure-to-structure setback. In all respects, the proposed addition appears to be the most appropriate method to expand the house with no significant impact on neighboring properties nor on the lake itself. Staff Recommendation - • Staff recommends approval of the side setback variance to construct the second story addition as proposed.
