FILE #LA25-000023 <br />21 July 2025 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />Practical Difficulties Analysis <br />Applicant Submittal Information: The applicant has identified the existing conditions and <br />substandard lot size as practical difficulties supporting the requested variances. 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 />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 />LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br />Section 78-330 + 78-1279 — Setbacks: <br />LR-1B <br />Required <br />Existing <br />Proposed <br />Lake <br />75' <br />67' home <br />No change <br />54' grade level deck <br />Rear/Street <br />30' <br />20.7' <br />No change <br />Northeast Side <br />7.5' * <br />10.7' <br />No change <br />Southwest Side <br />7.5' * <br />12.1' <br />No change <br />The existing home encroaches approximately 4 feet lakeward of <br />Average Lakeshore <br />the ALS.
