FILE #LA25-000031 18 August 2025 Page 4 of 4 10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant: As the house is impacted by the ALS, limited development or improvement on the lakeward side cannot occur, despite the home’s nearly 300-foot separation from the shoreline. Approval of a variance would be necessary to preserve the property rights of the applicant. This criterion is met. 11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter: The granting of the variance would not be contrary to the intent of the ALS to protect the lake views of adjacent owners. This criterion is met. 12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty: The applicants have designed a reasonable building addition that is nestled in a corner of their house that happens to be lakeward of the ALS. Lake views that the ALS is designed to protect are not impacted by the proposal. This criterion is met. The Commission may recommend or Council may impose conditions in granting of variances. Any conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is located.
