This lot is 0.28 acre in area and 49.75 feet in width at the shoreline and at the <br />75-foot setback. <br />Hardcover Variance: <br />Hardcover is proposed to be 43.68 percent in the 75 to 250 foot zone when 25 percent is <br />allowed and 16.07 percent in the street side 0-75 foot zone. This reflects the Planning <br />Commission direction to reduce hardcover to 3,000 square feet. <br />Floodplain Variance <br />The floodplain regulations require that the bottom of the lowest floor of a building in the <br />floodplain be elevated to the regulatory flood protection elevation (which is 932.5). Within <br />15 feet the building ground level must be no lower than one foot below this elevation. The <br />Applicant proposes to maintain the required elevation only within a few feet of the building. <br />Building Height Variance <br />The code specifies that the height of the proposed house be measured from existing grade <br />(931.5) to a point halfway between the top of the highest window and the peak of the roof. <br />By this definition the house is 34.5 feet high. The windows are in the gable end. As the <br />Planning Commission requested the dormers have been removed and the roof pitch adjusted <br />so if the gable end windows were absent the defined building height would be 30 feet. The <br />third level complies with the definition of a half story. <br />Hardship Statement <br />Applicant has completed the Hardship Documentation Form attached as Exhibit B, and <br />should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application. <br />Hardship Analysis <br />In considering applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the proposed <br />variance upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, <br />light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding <br />area. The Planning Commission shall consider recommending approval for variances from the literal <br />provisions of the Zoning Code in instances where their strict enforcement would cause undue hardship
