The Planning Commission reviewed this application on September 21, 1998, and <br /> recommended approval on a vote of 6 to 0. <br /> 4. The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact: <br /> A. The proposed residence meets all lot and hardcover requirements. <br /> B. The lot is located on a peninsula causing the average lakeshore setback <br /> distance to be pushed back on the lot. <br /> C. The lot faces the south whereas the adjacent lots face to the southwest <br /> and east. <br /> 4.
