Request for Council Action continued Page 2 of 4 November 29, 1995 Zoning File #2084 Thomas R. McCune, 1473 Bay Ridge Road The proposed new sunroom will be over the existing wood deck, which is 27' from the south side lot line where a 30' setback is normally required. A portion of the existing deck will be removed, which will assist in minimizing the proposed increase in hardcover in the 75-250' zone. Hardcover in the 75-250' zone is proposed to increase from 23.9% to 26.7%, where 25% is normally allowed. Applicant noted that the garage addition is located where it minimizes the amount of driveway in the 75-250' zone. Planning Commission Recommendation Planning Commission reviewed this application at their November 20 meeting and on a vote of 5 to 0 recommended approval, subject to applicant not proceeding with the garage wing addition until/unless municipal sewer becomes available to the property, based on the following findings: a. The proposed side setback of 10' for the garage and 27' for the sunroom instead of the required 30', is consistent with other development in the neighborhood. b. The new garage addition will result in the removal of the existing detached garage which is located less than 3' from the south side lot line where current standards for detached garage would require a 10' minimum setback, thereby eliminating this non -conforming structure. C. The proposed location of the garage/bedroom/bath addition in the northerly half of the property will minimize the amount of driveway hardcover in the 75-250' zone. d. The proposed sunroom is over an existing deck and therefore constitutes no new hardcover in the 75-250' zone. Further, the proposed sunroom does not encroach on the average lakeshore setback, and its location 27' from the lot line will have no impact on neighboring properties. e. The increase in hardcover on the property from 23.9% to 26.7% is being minimized by removal of a portion of the existing deck, as well as removal of the detached garage and existing sidewalk. Hardcover in the 250-500' zone of 19.9% where 30% would be allowed also is a positive aspect of the proposal.
