The Planning Commission suggested that the applicants redesign <br />their proposal to limit structural coverage to 15% and reduce hardcover. <br />The applicants are proposing to remove the existing residence to construct a new residence. The <br />property is on a peninsula and has two lakeshore setback areas. A variance to allow a driveway in <br />the south 75' will be required for access to the zoning lot. A variance to build a new house in the 75'- <br />250' setback is requested to allow 4,556 sq. ft. (30%) hardcover where 3,797.5 sq. ft. (25%) is <br />allowed. The plan presented in February requested 5,080 sq. ft. (33.44%) hardcover in the 75'-250' <br />setback. The March plan reduced hardcover from 33.44% to 32.33%, or a reduction of 170 sq. ft. <br />The April plan reduces hardcover to 4,556 sq. ft. in the 75'-250' setback which is 30% where 25% <br />is allowed. <br />(The applicants have consented to waiving the 60 day review period for this application.) <br />PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: <br />The Planning Commission recommended by a 6 to O vote to: <br />Approve the variance based on the Staff Report with the condition no further variances for hardcover <br />will be granted on this property. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br />A hardcover variance is appropriate for a reasonable driveway in the 0'-75' setback on the south. <br />There is no hardship for the amount of proposed hardcover in the 75'-250' setback. A house, garage, <br />with a driveway that does not exceed 3,797.5 sq. ft. could be constructed on this site. Economic <br />consideration and design preferences are not considered hardship under state law.
