Zoning File <^1888 <br />November 5.1993 <br />Page 2 <br />List of Exhibits <br />A <br />B <br />C <br />D <br />E <br />r <br />G <br />H <br />Application <br />Applicants' Addendum <br />Property Owners List <br />Plat Map <br />Aerial Map <br />Elevations <br />Floor Plan <br />Survey <br />Description of Request <br />Applicant proposes the removal of a 14 ’ x 14.3' three-season porch and replacement with <br />a family room/office addition to the lakeside and west side of existing res.dence, refer to Exhibit <br />H. The improvement will require an average lakeshore setback variance. The existing duw- <br />season porch is located 18' in front of the average lakeshore setback line. The proposed addition <br />will extend 20’. As applicants' addendum notes. Exhibit B. the seven year old principal <br />strucmre (built 9/86) was installed in front of the average lakeshore setback line without the <br />necessary variance approval. Seven years ago the channel was probably not considered pan of <br />the main lake for determination of average lakeshore setback line. Members with longer tenure <br />may remember recent variance applications dealing with additions to principal structure, along <br />Forest Arm channel that required average lakeshore setback variances. It has also been noted <br />by Council that the intent or application of this code is not clear when dealing with lots on <br />channels or lots adjacent to lakeshore lots with narrow platted corridors to lake. <br />There is 8% excessive hardcover within the 250-5(X)’ setback area, very consistent with <br />the development along Forest Arms Lane where homes are placed close to the road taking <br />advantage of the higher elevations. Total lot hardcover with the improvement is at 15.5%. The <br />improvements to the situcture are located completely within the 75-250 setback area where only <br />12% exists and 13% is proposed. <br />The City has received no comment from the adjacent neighbors receiving the most impact <br />from the addition, fhe single story addition will have no more ot a visual impact on the <br />adiaceni residences than the existing single story three-season porch The improvement will <br />meet all other required setbacks <br />l^ues for Consideration <br />1 Based on the factual ^ndl^g^ noted above, is it necessary that applicant remove excesses <br />of hardcover within the 250-500 ’ setback area (807 s.f.)?
