The application involves a lot area and lot width variance and does not propose a formal building plan or profile. As in the 1969 and 1979 reviews, this is merely a variance review to allow the sale of the lot as a buildable lot. The approval should specifically provide the limitations for a future developer of the site. Staff is aware that this is a problem for members of the Commission where we are not dealing with a final plan of development and are merely asked to deal with the physical character of the site. The City has approved in the past lot area and lot width variances without formal building plans and has continued to do so even within the past few months. Review Exhibit G, the building envelope has been described on the updated survey noting the average lakeshore setback lines, side setback and street setback for the principal structure. It should be noted that a building envelope is also shown on the accessory lot divided by Ridge Place. The average lakeshore setback line will be staked prior to Planning Commission inspection of the site.
