The property contains 19,917 s.f. in area and has 147' in width at the OHWL <br /> and 114' in width at the 75' setback. <br /> b. The lot is substandard in area and a residence has existed on the property for <br /> many years. <br /> c. There is no additional land available to bring the lot width or lot area into <br /> conformity. <br /> d. The hardcover if reduced to no more than 40% of the 75'-250' zone will be in <br /> line with the levels of hardcover variances approved on rebuild applications <br /> with similar lot conditions. The proposed residence meets the structural lot <br /> coverage limitation of 15%. <br /> e. The proposed structure complies with all lake yard, side yard, rear (street) <br /> yard, and average lakeshore setback requirements. <br /> f. The reverse pie shape of the lot warrants additional hardcover within the 75'- <br /> 250' setback zone. <br /> g. The applicants have proposed a 2-story home with a basement meeting the <br /> City's definitions. The lowest floor elevation has been proposed at 945.25' <br /> with an adjacent walk-out (lake side) ground level of 946'-946.25' to avoid <br /> excavation within the 0-75' zone. This "step up" walkout arrangement will <br /> require careful design to avoid flooding. <br /> 4. The applicants subsequent to Planning Commission review have submitted a <br /> revised proposal for 39.3%hardcover in the 75'- 250' zone. <br /> 5. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br /> recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by <br /> the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance on the <br /> health, safety and welfare of the community. <br /> 6. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to <br /> it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting <br /> the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire <br /> hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a <br /> convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br />
