The City Council makes the following additional findings <br />of fact regarding the proposied application: <br />A) Maintaining a 10* setback from the west lot line <br />will not allow applicants to constrict the 2-car garage <br />that is necessary for security ol the^i. vehicles, <br />privacy, and s^rrage of lawn and property maintenance <br />equipment current :y stored in a steel shed on the <br />property. <br />B) Approval of variances to allow a west side lot line <br />setback of 4.6* will still maintain the required 10* <br />setback from the neighboring residence necessary for <br />fire safety and drainage purposes. <br />C) The applicants have revised the application to <br />exclude the .'riginally proposed 4’ expansion lakeward <br />from the existing house. <br />D) There is no additions'* property available for <br />acquisition by the current ^..operty owners to relieve <br />the existing substandard setbacks. Also, there is no <br />feasible means by which the property owners can <br />relocate the existing house within the property <br />boundaries to meet the required setbacks from the <br />str<^.et sides and lake, hence repositioning of the house <br />normally required during foundation reconstruction is <br />not feasible. <br />E; A variance to a ie ^-^age corner to be as <br />close as 7* to the st t line where a 30* Fetback <br />is normally require^ justified by the n ed for <br />adequate security of w . applicants* property and is <br />supported by the fact that the location of the proposed <br />garage doors wculd be at least 20* from the existing <br />sidewalk and at least 27* from the existing cu"b line <br />o** County Road 15, leaving adequate room for pa..Vxng of <br />vehicles outside the garage without affecting <br />pedestrian or vehicular traffic in the right-of-way. <br />Furthermore, the proposed driveway width will allow <br />enough room to maneuver applicants* vehicles in order <br />to enter traffic moving forward. <br />5.
