2/8/2024 <br />4 <br />Option 1: Recalculate the ALS with abutting neighbors <br />Use the average distances measured from the two <br />abutting homes to find a numerical average setback from <br />the OHWL for the subject property. <br />a. Pros: <br />i. Creates a measured distance setback from <br />the OHWL <br />ii. Follows the shoreline and could allow for a <br />more uniform building envelope <br />iii.Resolves issues on peninsulas and bays <br />b. Cons: <br />i. Setback is still determined by location of the <br />neighbors <br />ii. Discrepancies in setbacks will continue to be <br />challenging <br />iii.Could allow homes to be built forward of the <br />neighbor’s homes impacting views <br />c. Questions: <br />i. This could be an alternative way to measure <br />in addition to our current practice. Allowing <br />residents to use the less restrictive of the <br />two. <br />Option 2: Create an Exception for <br />homes over 300’ from the lake <br />a. Pros:i. Keeps the existing definitionii.Eliminates some extreme setbacks from the equationiii.Minimal impact as this scenario as this layout is not common around the lakeb. Cons: i. Allows for building in front of a neighbors homesii.Setback is still based on neighboring homesiii.Does not fix the challenges with a curvy lakeshore and peninsulasiv.Creates another cumbersome exception to the setbackc. Questionsi. Is 300’ the right number? Will there ever be a right number? ii.Does it serve the purpose for the regulation? <br />29
