Additionally, they have provided supporting documentation regarding <br />Practical Difficulties attached as Exhibit B, and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the <br />application. <br /> <br />Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: Regarding practical difficulty, Staff finds that there are several <br />challenging issues on this site. The shallow nature of the property and the location of the sewer easement <br />restrict the building envelope. Staff supports the setback and hardcover variances for the new home. However, <br />the proposed deck which exceeds the existing home footprint is not supported by staff. The new deck will <br />extend 1.5 feet closer to the lake than the existing home creating a new encroachment. The proposed <br />hardcover exceeds 25% and should be revised to meet 25%. <br /> <br />LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br /> <br />Section 78-330 & 78-1279 – Setbacks: <br />LR-1B Required Existing Proposed <br />Street/Rear 30’ 38.9’ 30.2’ <br />North Side 10’ 36.8’ 10’ <br />South Side 10’ 13.5’ 10’ <br />Lakeshore 75’ 62.9’ home <br />68.4’ home <br />61.4’ deck <br /> <br />Average Lakeshore The proposed home will conform to the ALS requirement. <br /> <br />Section 78-330 – Lot Area/Width: <br />LR-1B Lot Area Lot Width <br />Required 43,560 s.f.
