The Planning Commission reviewed this application at public hearings held on May 17, <br /> 2004 and June 21,2004 and recommended approval ofthe lot area variance based on the <br /> following findings: <br /> a) The property contains an existing residence structure and detached garage,which <br /> will be removed by the applicants in order to construct a new residence on the <br /> property. <br /> b) The property is provided with municipal sewer. <br /> c) The lot area of 0.3 9 acres is sufficient to allow reconstruction on the site,where <br /> a residence has previously existed for many years,without the need for setback <br /> or lot coverage variances. <br /> . d) There is no land available for acquisition by the applicants to bring the lot into <br /> conformity. <br /> 4. The Plaluiing Commission sunilarlyrecommended approval ofthe hardcover variance <br /> based on the following findings: <br /> a) The proposed residence will meet all setback,average lakeshore setback and lot <br /> coverage by stxuctures requirements of the Zoning Code. <br /> b) The lot shape is not optimum for a lakeshore lot of 0.39 acres. The degree of <br /> hardship supported by the lot shape is calculated as follows: <br /> 17,060 sf/250'=68.2'=optimum width for 75-250'Hardcover <br /> 68.2'x 175'=11,935 sf x.25=2,984 sf-2,695 sf=289 sf variance due to lot shape <br /> c) There is an inherent need for a backup apron to allow forward vehicle movement <br /> onto Shadywood Road,as Shadywood is a CouniyRoad with substantial traffic <br /> which would make it dangerous to back out. The applicants have proposed a <br /> minimal driveway and backup apron meeting the City's minimum dimension <br /> standards for such features while allowing for sufficient off-street parking on the <br /> site. - <br /> i <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br />
