B. The new garage addition will result in the removal of the existing <br />detached garage which is located less than 3' from the south side lot line <br />where current standards for a detached garage would require a 10' <br />minimum setback, thereby eliminating this non -conforming structure. <br />C. The proposed location of the garage/bedroom/bath addition in the <br />northerly half of the property will minimize the amount of driveway <br />hardcover in the 75-250' zone. <br />D. The proposed sunroom is over an existing deck and therefore constitutes <br />no new hardcover in the 75-250' zone. Further, the proposed sunroom <br />does not encroach on the average lakeshore setback, and its location 27' <br />from the lot line will have no impact on neighboring properties. <br />E. The increase in hardcover on the property from 23.9% to 26.7% is being <br />minimized by removal of a portion of the existing deck, as well as <br />removal of the detached garage and existing sidewalk. Hardcover in the <br />250-500' zone of 19.9% where 30% would be allowed also is a positive <br />aspect of the proposal. <br />F. Because the existing septic system is located in the area of the proposed <br />garage/bedroom/bath addition, and because that septic system must remain <br />in use until/unless municipal sewer is provided to the property, it is <br />appropriate that construction of this addition be delayed until such time <br />that sewer is available, while the sunroom addition will not be hindered <br />by the septic system location. <br />4. The City Council has considered this application including the fmdings and <br />recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br />by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and <br />welfare of the community. <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />
