Additional Comments and Planning Commission Recommendation - Zoning File #1350 December 5, 1588 The Planning Commission questioned the applicant regarding the proposed addition in relation to the need for lakeshore and side setback variances. The Planning Commission noted that we have no confirmation as to the final upgrading of County Road 15 and rather than create a future safety hazard by moving the structure closer to the road, the Planning Commission would prefer recommending approval of the lakeshore setback variance as proposed based on the hardship of the curva-ur_e of the shoreline. As for the side setback needed to provide the applicant with adequate width for the two -stall garage, Planning Commission accepted the fact that the lot line could still be rearranged but declined to take further dry land area from the northern rural lot that remains unsewered. The proposed division line represents a nature topographic boundary between the two properties. The existing house is small with no additional storage area. The proposed two -car garage and addition will provide much needed living area. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the 2418" setback for the addition. The over-riding, positive aspect of the entire application has been the major decrease of hardcover within the 0-75' and 75-250' setback area. In the 0-75' we see a reduction of 6% hardcover, and in the 75-250' setback area there is a reduction of 6%. As the staff memo noted above, there would be an increase of 140 s.f. or 4% of hardcover within the 75-250' setback area to cover a 4' wide path from the garage to the front entrance door and the crushed rock landscaping with an underliner. Vs enclosed resolution has been drafted based on the Planning Commission's recommendatio-i of approval of the variances as proposed by the applicant.
