Hardcover & Structural Coverage Variance The applicant's lot is located near the north end of Baldur Park peninsula. Because of this, 83 % of the lot area is within 75' of the OHWL. The applicant's home is located entirely within the 75' setback causing the property to be extremely nonconforming with respect to hardcover. Additionally, the structural coverage on the lot exceeds the 15% limit. Currently there is 21.5% structural coverage and the applicant is proposing a slight reduction with the reduced size proposal for a structural coverage level of 21 %. The current structural cover level is a result of past variance approvals. The survey of the easement area submitted by the neighbor shows some boulder landscape borders which may slightly increase the westerly 0-75' hardcover calculations, at this time staff does not have an accurate calculation. Lake Setback Variance The buildable area outside the 75' setback is 2,112 s.f. in a triangular shape, and the entire home is located within the required 75' lake setback zone. Any improvement to this home requires a variance. Although the applicant is proposing the move more structure into the lake setback area, it does provide the applicant with the ability to park vehicles on the driveway on the property rather than on the neighboring property. Average Lakeshore Setback Variance The property is located on a peninsula. The average lakeshore setback is defined by the existing setback of the house to the immediate east of the property. The existing house and deck encroach approximately 49' past the defined easterly average setback line. However, the new garage will not encroach further into that neighbor's easterly lake views, but may encroach or reduce their westerly views due to its added height. 3
