r <br />variance or reducing the current amount and redirecting it into the 250'-500' setback. <br />11.The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, <br />comfort, morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code, <br />The variance will not impair health, safety, comfort or morals. However, the variance <br />would allow for more visible structure from the lake and would significantly reduce <br />a side yard that currently provides open space between the subject property and the <br />adjacent property to the east. <br />12.The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, <br />but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or difficulty. <br />No hardship has been demonstrated. <br />Issues <br />1. <br />2. <br />The existing lot meets all zoning district requirements, <br />No further additions can be made to the property because it currently exceeds <br />allowed hardcover amounts in the 75-250' setback. <br />3.The permit record shows that a demolition occurred in 1985. Additions and <br />remodeling occurred in 1985,1988,1996, July 1997 and December 1997. <br />4.The applicant is proposing to swap allowed hardcover in one setback to another setback <br />closer to the lake. If this approach became commonplace, property owners throughout <br />Oronc may try to maximize the amount of structure as close to the lake as possible. \^ith <br />10’ setbacks in this zoning district, the massing along the lakeshore would negate the <br />aesthetic benefit of the hardcover regulations. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends denial of the hardcover variance. The conditional use permit for a guest <br />apartment would not be needed. <br />Attachments <br />A <br />B <br />Application <br />Plat Map <br />ft2323 Tim Nelson on behalf of David Pomije <br />3120 North shore Drive <br />Variance <br />1/20/98 <br />page-S <br />! i <br />MkiK-i*' u JL 1
