The main-level addition will be cantilevered over the ground. The home is <br />situated within the 75-foot setback and partially within the average lakeshore setback, as close as 24 <br />feet to the lake. The proposed addition will be 33.8 feet from the lake and will extend the line of the <br />lake facing wall of the home filling in a nearly 15-foot gap. <br /> <br />Practical Difficulties Analysis <br />Applicant Submittal Information: The applicant has identified the existing non-compliant setback of <br />the home, the existing nonfunctional interior layout, and problematic roof drainage as practical <br />difficulties supporting the requested variance(s). Additionally, they have provided supporting <br />documentation regarding Practical Difficulties attached as Exhibit B, and should be asked for <br />additional testimony regarding the application. <br /> <br />Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: Regarding practical difficulty, Staff finds that the <br />proximity of the home to the lake prevents any structural or massing modification.
