Zoning File #1494 April 4, 1990 Page 3 of 4 Please review the factual findings noted above in comparing the proposal presented for the Planning Commission review at the March 19th meeting and the current proposal presented for Council action this evening. The pool and patio area now encroaches the average setback line by 19' (the existing one encroaches 10' in front of the average setback line). Existing hardcover at 47% is now shown reduced to 42.5%. The applicant has reduced the pool and patio area and the structural addition to the lakeside of the house, thereby requiring no longer a variance to the lot coverage allowance for a lot under 1.99 acres. Please review Exhibit G, a letter presented for consideration by the City at the time of the original proposal in February. Staff has heard nothing from the affected neighbor, but in reading the letter, it would appear that the major concern was the structural addition and its impact on the view windows of their residence. The current application no longer involves an average lakeshore setback variance for a structural addj*-ion, merely the encroachment of a grade level pool and patio by an additional 9* from the existing patio area. Council may wish for additional review comments from the adjacent neighbor prior to formal action. In reviewing Exhibit H, the insurance carrier of the applicant advises that a fence is not necessary around the pool area. If Council approves the encroachment of the average setback line of the pool and patio area, staff would suggest that plantings be provided along the east and west lot lines adjacent to the encroaching pool and patio. The Planning Commission's final vote was confusing to the applicant and was recorded as follows: 2 - denial 1 - abstention “ made original motion to table but failed 1 - approval Options of Action - Approval of amended plan reviewed at April 9, 1990 meeting requiring approval of an average lakeshore setback line of 19' for a proposed pool and patio area and a hardcover variance within the 75-250' setback area for new structural and non- structural improvements within the 75-250' setback area where 47% of existing hardcover exists. The improvements will result in a net reduction of 4.2% hardcover. It should also be noted that structure coverage is maintained at 15%. Approval would be based on the following hardships and findings: 1. The property is a narrow, triangular shaped lot preventing expansion to the sides of the existing structure. 2. The application as amended will provide no visual impact on the view windows of the adjacent property.
