Additionally, they <br />have provided supporting documentation regarding Practical Difficulties (Exhibit C), they have <br />provided a written narrative (Exhibit B), and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the <br />application. <br /> <br />Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: Staff finds that the existing conditions (the <br />nonconforming size and depth of the lot and existing home location) may support the requested <br />setback variances. The request for variances to expand the 2nd story of the home over the existing <br />footprint appears to be reasonable, considering the location and orientation of the subject home, <br />the neighboring homes, and the substandard lot size. The additions should not adversely impact the <br />view of the lake for the neighbors compared to the existing condition. <br /> <br />LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br /> <br />Section 78-330 + 78-1279 – Setbacks: <br /> <br />LR-1B Required Existing Proposed <br />Lake 75’ 67’ home <br />54’ grade level deck No change <br />Rear/Street 30’ 20.7’ No change <br />Northeast Side 7.5’ * 10.7’ No change <br />Southwest Side 7.5’ * 12.1’ No change <br />Average Lakeshore <br />The existing home encroaches approximately 4 feet lakeward of <br />the ALS.
