Boyke, 793 North Ferndale Road - * Qfs <br />Preliminary Subdivision Approval - Resolution <br />Zoning Adm:mis«^^^ <br />c-0 <br />Zoning District: RR-IB (Within Shoreland Overlay District) <br />Application: Split off a building site from existing 4+ acre residence <br />parcel. <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A - <br />Exhibit B - <br />Exhibit C - <br />Exhibit D - <br />Exhibit E - <br />Resolution <br />Notice of Planning Commission Action 11/23/92 <br />Planning Commission Minutes 11/16/92 <br />City Engineer's Comments Regarding Driveway 11/19/92 <br />Memo and Exhibits of 11/13/92 <br />Summary <br />Mr. Boyke's residence is on a parcel containing 4.7 dry buildable <br />acres. Additionally, the property includes approximately 1.6 acres of <br />wetland bordering Lydiard Lake, such wetland being below the OHW for <br />Lydiard Lake. <br />Applicant's initial proposal to Planning Commission was for two <br />lakeshore lots. However, that configuration required a lot width <br />variance for Lot 1 as measured at both the shoreline and the 150' <br />lakeshore setback. A number of adjacent and nearby neighbors appeared <br />at the Planning Commission public hearing in opposition to the <br />creation of an additional building site on what they consider a <br />"natural wild environment area". The Planning Commission tabled the <br />request, advising the applicant that variances would not be granted. <br />Applicant revised his proposal so that Lot 1 is no longer a lakeshore <br />lot, and therefore the lot width variances no longer are necessary. <br />The new configuration brought forth additional concern about drainage <br />and the driveway construction which have been addressed to staff's <br />satisfaction. <br />Although not specifically addressed by the Pla’’"iing Commission, a minor <br />250-500' hardcover variance is inherent in the xayout, but this can be <br />effectively mitigated by reducing the allowed 75-250' hardcover by the <br />excess square footage (524 s.f.) in the 250-500' zone, leaving the 75— <br />250' zone at 24.15% instead of 25%. <br />Each lot has adequate drainfield sites, a reasonably sized building <br />envelope, an accepbble drainage plan and suitable access.
