Gaffronr Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator January 17, 1990 #1479 Doug Williams/Lecy Construction, Inc., 1020 Tonkawa Road - Variance - Resolution Zoning District - LR-IB, Single family lakeshore residential, 1 acre, sewered Application - Request for lot width variance to construct a new residence. List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Proposed Resolution Exhibit B - Memo & Exhibits of 1/10/90 Discussion - Applicants are requesting a lot width variance in order to construct a new residence on this 1.8 acre property. There is an existing house on the property, which was constructed after being granted a lot width variance in 1976. Existing lot width is 100', the standard for the LR-IB zone is 140*. Neighboring lots to the north and south all are similar to this lot, being about 100* in width. The applicants originally also requested a variance for average lakeshore setback. Due to the northerly neighboring residence being relatively far back from the shoreline, applicants were proposing to line up their new residence with the house to the immediate south and the second house to the north. Planning Commission took into account the expressed concerns of the neighbor to the immediate north about possible view reductions, hence applicants have revised their proposal to meet the average setback as we would normally define it. At their January 16th meeting. Planning Commission recommended approval of the lot width variance, finding that no additional land is available, that the property contains an existing residence which will be removed and the new residence will be further back on the property, and that the majority of the adjacent and nearby lots are similarly 100' in width. Staff Recoamendation - Staff recommends approval per the Planning Commission recommendation. A resolution for approval is attached. I
