Options that have been 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 <br />significant 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 <br />deep properties in the LR-IA 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 <br />decks only). <br />Option 4: Eliminate Average Lakeshore Setback Requirement <br />Finding: Elimination would simplify the building setback requirements. This could result in construction closer <br />to 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 />Finding: Hardcover and ALS have different goals. Tying them together would be challenging and cumbersome <br />for residents, builders and staff. <br />Option 7: Only apply the ALS where the existing structures are located within the lake setback. <br />1.1 <br />
