Zoning File i#1280 Page 3 10. Staff would suggest that this property certainly has some unique circumstances and hardships, given that it is sandwiched between two shorelines. This situation occurs along Baldur Park and along Fagerness Point Road, both areas in which a number of variances have been granted in recent years. Attached as Exhibit J is a listing of the variances that have been granted in recent years in these two similarly situated and similarly zoned areas. Although hardships and unique circumstances will vary from application to application, the information presented should provide Planning Commission with some sense of the degree or magnitude of variances that have been consistently approved. 11. A summary of the necessary variances is as follow. a. 0-75' hardcover. b. 75-250, hardcover. c. Additional structure in 0-75' zone, including the concomitant grading and excavation associated with Such construction. d. 5' structure -to -structure setback variance. Additional Items of Concern - The property owners directly adjacent to the property, the Keesling's, have submitted a letter supporting the application, stating that their views will not be hindered and that the addition would be a beneficial wind block for their house. Note that the Kecsling roof drainage may tend to flow somewhat across the applicants yard area. If the additions were constructed, staff would recommend that he drainage be allowed to flow to the southwest onto the flat area of applicants's property to enhance infiltration. Note also that at applicant's property, the City no longer maintains Baldur Park Road, and it serves merely as a driveway serving applicant and the residents at the tip of Baldur Park Point. It would appear witl- the proposed driveway plan that applicant could park two carE in the garage and two more cars on the driveway apron within the property boundaries, without affecting that continuing driveway. Staff would express the concern however that, if the property at the end of Baldur Park Road is developed at some point in the future, the City may require that a private road outlot be dedicated, with the potential that public road dedication be required. While this has not been discussed at any great length recently, a past application to divide the point into three total lots had received preliminary approval, with a cul-de-sac directly adjacent to the applicant's driveway (see Exhibit K). Based on that preliminary approval, applicant's proposed deck would end up 10' from the edge of the cul-de-sac dedicated for Baldur Park Road, and a portion of applicant's property would be dedicated for Baldur Park Road.
