List of Bschibits Exhibit A - Planning Commission Action Notice of 2/24/89 Exhibit B - Planning Commission Minutes of 2/21/89 Exhibit C - Resolution Exhibit D - Memo & Exhibits of 2/15/89 Discussion - Please review the memo and exhibits of February 15, 1989. The applicant originally was requesting a side setback variance and hardcover variance to construct a 2-story addition at the rear of his house in conjunction with remodeling the existing garage area into a workshop. This would leave the residence with no garage. During discussions at the Planning Commission meeting of February 21, Planning Commission expressed concern that this owner or a future owner would eventually request additional variances for hardcover in order to construct a garage, which Planning Commission felt could possibly be avoided by conditioning approval on retention of the existing attached garage. The applicant agreed to that condition, noting that he hopes to eventually acquire portions of the property to his west which would help offset future hardcover needs. A variance of 0.4* is required to place a new foundation under the existing garage, which is 9.6* from the east side lot line, and the proposed addition to the north of the house will be approximately 9.1* from the west lot line, a variance of 0.9*. Additionally, because the structures on the property are mainly in the 75-250’ lakeshore setback zone, the proposed additions require a hardcover variance to Increase from 24.5% existing to 29.5% proposed. Planning Cii—I salon Rec idation At their meeting of February 21, 1989, Planning Commission recommended approval of the east and west side setback variances, and recommended approval of a hardcover variance for the 75-250* zone, to allow 1,720 s.f. or 28.1% in that zone. This would be accomplished by moving the 85 s.f. shed further northeast into the 250-500* zone. ndationStaff Re Staff recommends approval per the attached resolution, per the Planning Commission recommendation.
