The property is in the LR-1A zoning district, which has a minimum of two acres, with this lot consisting of .72 acres.

Van Zomeren remarked variances were previously granted for a proposal to add to the rear of the structure to allow a two-car garage and a second story. Those variances have expired.

In the 75*-250* zone, there will be a modest increase for a total of 8.37 percent or 942.82 square feet. The proposed addition would not encroach any closer to the lake than the existing residence.
