Each variance application must be reviewed separately as a unique application. The applicant needs <br />to demonstrate that there is a fundamental reason why the City should depart from the Code <br />requirements for hardcover. The need for a hardcover variance in the 75'-250' setback is a design <br />issue and is not due to any uniqueness of the lot. Hardcover could be reduced through redesign to <br />25%. <br />STATEMENT OF HARDSHIP <br />The applicant has indicated that the hardship is having two 0'-75' setbacks. Having lake views on <br />each side, however, is an amenity. It also does not impact the size of the residence because there <br />is 15,190 sq. ft. oflot area in the 75'-250' area to build a house and a garage. <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. <br />#2457 David and Paula Lindberg <br />1392 Ba/dur Park Road <br />PC-3/15/99 <br />page--5
