No fill shall be deposited in the floodway, and any fill deposited in the flood fringe shall be no more than the minimal amount necessary to conduct a conditional use.

Lot Area & Lot Width Variance The applicants' property is a lot of record and is non-conforming with respect to lot area and lot width. The property is 50' wide and has 8,179 s.f. in area where 100' in width and 21,780 s.f. in area are required within the LR-IC zoning district. Variances are required to rebuild any home on this property. Hardcover Variance Due to the small size of this lot the 15% structural coverage allowed is less than 1,500 s.f., and the applicants are permitted by City Code 15% lot coverage by structures or 1,500 s.f. whichever is greater. The applicant is permitted a 1,500 s.f. footprint. There is a limited buildable area within the 75'-250' zone, therefore the applicants have proposed to construct their home partially within the 0-75' zone, but meeting the average lakeshore setback. However, due to the size of the lot and the area within the 0-75' and 75' -250' zones, the home footprint and patio account for 24.39% hardcover within the 0-75' zone. The house and small deck consist of 19.7% hardcover within the 75' -250' zone, and adding driveway and sidewalk results in a total of 36. 74% within the 75' -250' zone. The property owner mentioned some landscaping is proposed which will help alleviate some of the effects of the additional hardcover on the property, and should be asked for details of those landscaping elements. As Baldur Park is a neighborhood of small, flat lots the applicant's request does not seem to be out of line for this neighborhood.
