#695 Roth Page 2 Variance The Roths are the owners of--nbined Lots 8, 17 & 18 (Exhibit G). A survey of Lct 8 (Exhibit D), th� residence lot, was obtained from an earlier variance review fc: a proposed lakeshore addition but building permit was never issued. In fact, the hardcover variance was approved based on the additional area of the 2 lots across the road. In review of the survey of Lot 17 & 18 (Exhibit E) most of that area is either marsh land or in the 0-75' protected area. The existin<: garage is a marginal two stall garage. The house has no basement or accessory shed to satisfy re idential storage needs, thus the reason for the proposed 1-wo stall ga ,ge being 52' deep. If the new garage is allowP� to be built on Lots 17 and 18 than the grassed rear yard of Lot 8 can remain undisturbed and another typical Baldur Park garage need not be crowded between Lots 7 & 9. Please note these are legally combined lots so a variance to Ordinance 31.310 is not required. Adequate turnaround is provided on the site and the additional much needed storage area is also provided. I would strongly suggest trimminq down size or structure as the garage will be almost as large as residence. Staff Recommendation To approve the lakeshore setback and hardcover variance application of Guenther Roth based on the following findings & hardships: 1 - No additional land available. 2 - Location of new garage and turnaround will provide less disturbance of environmentally sensitive property- 3 - New location and use will be safer and less hazardous than existing garage use. and subject to the following conditions: 1 - Owner is placed on notice that the City will not consider any further variances for the property. 2 - Owner obtain a demolition permit for removal of existing garage. 3 - Structure be trimmed back - either to decrease work shop area on grade level or require removal of second story. Based on hardcover concerns it would be better to trim back grade level (25' x 35') and allow a limited second story. 4 - Owner agree to sign off on resolution ayreein(l that second story will never be used aF a residential unit.
