The property is located in the LR-1C, One Family Lakeshore Zoning <br /> District which requires a minimum lot area of 0.5 acre and a minimum lot <br /> width of 100'. <br /> 3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing <br /> held on July 18, 2005 and on a vote of 6 — 1 recommended approval of <br /> variances based on the following findings: <br /> a. The applicant's property has 12,726 s.f. or 0.29 acre in area and 100' <br /> of width at the north shoreline and 56' of width at tlle northern 75' <br /> setback. <br /> � b. No additional land is available for acquisition by the applicant to make <br /> the property conforming in area or width. <br /> c. The applicant is proposing to remove an existing detached garage and <br /> construct a slightly smaller attached garage with living space above; <br /> no additional living space is proposed within the substandard setbacks. <br /> d. Due to the hardcover levels and location of the home any additions or <br /> alterations to the house and detached garage require variances. <br /> e. There is no available land to purchase to make the property <br /> conforming. <br /> f. The applicant is proposing to remove portions of nonconforming <br /> hardcover in conjunction with setback variance approvals. <br /> g. The applicant is proposing to reorient the existing driveway on site to <br /> allow for parking on the property rather than on the neighboring <br /> property and within the easement. The existing layout of the site, and <br /> the existing easement providing driveway access to the neighboring <br /> properties, are hardships that support the proposed variances. <br /> 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings <br /> and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, <br /> comments by the applicant and the public, and the effect of the proposed <br /> variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br />
