Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />Date: <br />Subject: <br />April 19, 1989 <br />#1261 Joe & Sandy Rauschendorfer, 3895 Shoreline Drive - <br />Variances <br />Zoning District - LR-IC <br />Application - Request for variances to allow attached garage addition, <br />including side setback variance, replacement of foundation under <br />entire house, and a hardcover variance. <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A - Applicants* Letter of Reque.-^t 4/17/89 <br />Exhibit B - ll"xl7" Staff Sketch of Setback Considerations for <br />Plan A & Plan B <br />Exhibit C - Staff Review of Hardcover Proposal Under Plan A <br />Exhibit D - Planning Conrn‘.ssion Action Notice 3/27/89 <br />Exhibit E - Planning Commission Minutes 3/20/89 <br />Exhibit P - Memo & Exhibits of 3/15/89 <br />Discussion - <br />Please review applicants' recent letter of request. That letter <br />gives an accurate description of action on this application to date. <br />Applicants revised their application to exclude the 4* extension <br />lakeward from the existing house after Planning Commission recommended <br />denial of that additional lakeshore setback variance. <br />Applicants have also staked the proposed garage addition with the <br />closest garage corner being 4.7* from the west side lot line rather than <br />the 2* setback indicated on appl.icants* original sketch and exactly 10* <br />from the neighboring residence structure. They have indicated a preferred <br />option (called Plan A on the staff sketch), which leaves an angled west <br />garage wall creating additional storage space, and which leaves a 7* <br />setback from the street right-of-way. Under this scheme, the garage corner <br />would still be about 25* from the curb line. <br />Staff has reviewed the original hardcover calculations and has <br />identified a minor discrepancy in the area calculation used by the <br />applicant, in that there is actually a higher portion of the lot in the 75- <br />250* zone. Although this changes the original and proposed percentages, <br />the current Plan A proposal will result in a 195 s.f. reduction in overall <br />hardcover on the property, and significantly reduces the proportion of <br />hardcover in the 0-75* zone. From a hardcover standpoint, staff views this <br />application as a positive one.
