This application was revie�ved as Zoning File #2348. <br /> 2. The property is located in the LR-1B Single Family Lakeshore Residential <br /> Zoning District requiring 1 acre in area. The property consists of 57,200 s.f. or <br /> 1.13 acre. <br /> 3. The percentage of hardcover proposed for the residence and driveway in the 75' <br /> to 250' lakeshore setback is 25.9% where 25% is allowed. <br /> 4. The property meets area and width requirements. Allowing the requested <br /> hardcover variance would set a negative precedent in allowing a hardcover <br /> variance for new construction on a vacant lot of record that meets all zoning <br /> requirements and would not be in keeping writh the spirit and intent of the City's <br /> Community Management Plan and Zoning Ordinance. <br /> 5. A residence of reasonable proportions can be constructed on the lot without the <br /> granting of a hardcover variance. The residence as proposed includes a <br /> substantial driveway and two decks. The hardcover requirement can be <br /> rr�et with minor adjustments to these amenities. <br /> 6. The plight of the applicant is not due to a hardship unique to the property, but <br /> rather the desire to create decks and a driveway that increase the hardcover <br /> amount over what is allo�ved by code. <br /> 7. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are not <br /> peculiar to it and apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that <br /> granting the variances would merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, it <br /> is not necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; it is not <br /> necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would not <br /> be in keeping �vith the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive <br /> Plan of the City. <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
