6. <br />C. <br />D. <br />E. <br />Because of the steeply sloped lot and the need to <br />have the garage floor elevation at tl.w same level <br />of the adjacent County road, garage wall will be <br />located above the roof eve of the existing house <br />therefore requiring a substantially deep masonry <br />foundation in order to avoid excessive ground <br />pressure on the existing foundation wall. <br />The excessive elevation difference between the <br />existing house and the lakeshore requires a stair <br />system to safely access the lake. The steeply <br />sloped lot is a special condition that should be <br />taken into account when considering hardcover. <br />The vast majority of the existing and proposed <br />hardcover lies 180-255* from the lake. <br />There is no impact on the lakeviews of the homes <br />on the adjacent properties as both homes are <br />located at or near the 75* setback line. The <br />proposed addition is located well behind the <br />average lakeshore setback line. <br />4.The City Council finds that the conditions existing on <br />this property are peculiar to it and do not apply <br />generally to other property in this zoning district; <br />that granting the variance would not adversely affect <br />traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard <br />or other danger to neighboring property; would not <br />merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is <br />necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or <br />difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial <br />property right of the applicant; and would be in <br />keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code <br />and Ccxnprehensive Plan of the City. <br />5.The City Council has considered this application <br />including the findings and reports by City staff, <br />comments by the applicant and the effect of the <br />proposed variances on the health, safety and welfare of <br />the community. <br />Page 2 of 6
