Approximately 460 feet@ Shoreline; 420' @ 75' Setback Application Summary: Applicant requests the following variance in order to construct a 12' x 12' shed on the property: 1. Hardcover variance to permit hardcover within the 0-250' zone of 30% where 0% hardcover in the 75' -250' zone and 25% in the 250' -500' zone are normally required and 30% in the 0-250' zone was approved by variance in June of 2004. 2. Street/rear yard setback variance to permit the proposed shed to be located 28' from the property line where 50' is normally required and the existing home was permitted to be setback 21.8 feet from the property line by variance. (Hardcover is measured within 0-250' from the lake as the required street setback and lake setback overlap requiring hardcover to exist within 75' of the lake. This 0-75' hardcover is transferred back to the 75' -250' zone where 25% would be the maximum allowed hardcover on the property.) Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission discuss the policies of trading non-structural hardcover for structural hardcover and weigh that discussion against the reasonableness of the request in making a recommendation to the City Council.
