Options that were reviewed <br />• Option 1: Calculate the ALS using the average of the measured distance of the abutting neighbors' homes <br />• Finding: As reviewed at the February 2024 Council Work Session, calculating the ALS does not provide significant <br />relief from the regulation. <br />• Option 2: Create an Exception for homes a specific distance from the OHWL (i.e. +300' from the lake) <br />• Finding: This does not address the majority of ALS variances requested. Only a few properties (mostly the deep <br />properties in the LR-1A zoning district) would get relief. <br />• Option 3: Allow decks (any height) to encroach within the ALS <br />• Finding: This would add more complexity to the application of the regulation. Few projects would benefit (for decks <br />only). <br />• Option 4: Eliminate Average Lakeshore Setback Requirement <br />• Finding: Elimination would simplify the building setback requirements. This could result in construction closer to <br />the lake than a neighbor's home. <br />• Option 5: No Change <br />• Finding: Status quo. <br />• Option 6: Only apply the ALS when the hardcover level exceeds the allowed limit. <br />• Option 7: Only apply the ALS where the existing structures are located within the lake setback. <br />15 <br />
