To not maintain an elevation of 931.5 for 15 feet from the <br />perimeter of the house. To have a defined building height of 34.4 feet when the maximum is 30 feet, <br />to allow windows in the gable ends of the third level. <br />Planning Commission Recommendation <br />On April 16, 2007, Planning Commission voted 5 to 1 to recommend approval of the variances subject <br />to the house being moved south to comply with the average lakeshore setback. The Applicant has <br />submitted a revised site plan that satisfies this condition. <br />Planning Staff Recommendation <br />The lot width and area variances are routine requests. The hardcover variance is for a higher <br />percentage than typical because the property has two Oto 75 foot zones. The street side Oto 75 foot <br />zone drains almost entirely to the north across the 75 to 250 foot zone. There are no current hardcover <br />calculations on file for the properties on either side but they appear to have equivalent hardcover to <br />what is proposed. Both have structural lot coverage in excess of 15%. <br />The height variance request is unique possibly because it is only since 2002 that "half-story" has been <br />clearly defined. The house to the west is three stories on the street side but has a peak height of 30
