LA25-000043 <br />20 October 2025 <br />Page 2 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />envelope, which required many of the exterior modifications or expansions would be within the <br />lakeshore setback. <br /> <br />The applicant’s requests are minimal for the site, as they are proposing to rebuild and improve the <br />existing conditions, opposed to demolition and new construction. The project includes a 1,152 square <br />foot decrease in hardcover in the 75-foot lakeshore, and a general shifting of the driveway location <br />away from the OHWL. The proposed massing additions to the home are minimal in nature including <br />small additions on the non-lake side of the home and a new roof configuration. The property is well <br />below the structural and hardcover limits for the site. the project overall decreases the hardcover <br />within the lakeshore setback which is a positive improvement for the property, in light of the <br />difficulties facing the homeowner. <br /> <br />Conditional Use Permit Analysis: <br />A CUP is required in instances where new walls are proposed or replacement walls are proposed that <br />are greater than four (4) feet in height within the lakeshore setback. There is an existing timber <br />retaining wall in deteriorating condition within the lakeshore that the applicant requests to replace <br />with a limestone retaining wall 2.4 feet further in length. The existing wall contained the slope around <br />a staircase to the second story of the house, which is proposed to be removed in favor of a second <br />story balcony. There is an embankment that separates the home from the channel which slopes back <br />down towards the building. Reconstructing the retaining is necessary to provide slope stability and <br />will protect the current embankment of the site due to the current wall failing. The walls will be <br />screened from the lakeview as they are interior of the embankment and the landscape plan indicates <br />new planting in the area which provides screening. <br /> <br /> <br />LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br /> <br />Section 6.12.1450 – Setbacks: Primary Buildings <br /> <br />Section 6.12.9000 – Hardcover Calculations: <br />Stormwater <br />Overlay <br />District Tier <br />Total Area <br />in Zone <br />Allowed <br />Hardcover Existing Hardcover Proposed Hardcover <br />Tier 1 49,629 s.f. 12,407 s.f. <br />(25 %) <br />8,067 s.f. <br />(16.3%) <br />6,712 s.f. <br />within 75’ <br />setback <br />8,426 s.f. <br />(17%) <br />5,560 s.f. <br />within 75’ <br />setback <br /> <br />Section 6.12.6930 – Structural Building Coverage: <br />Total Lot Area Total Structural Coverage <br />49,629 s.f. or 1.14 acres (LR-1B, 1 acre required) 3,172 s.f. or 6.4% of lot area (maximum of 20% of lot area) <br /> <br />LR-1B District Required Existing Proposed <br />Lakeshore (North) 75’ ~51’ Existing House ~51’ Proposed House <br />Lakeshore (East) 75’ ~42’ Existing Attached Garage ~42’ Proposed Garage <br />Lakeshore (South) 75’ ~54’ Existing Attached Garage ~54’ Proposed Garage <br />Average Lakeshore <br />As the property is adjacent to a neighboring home and a vacant outlot, <br />the average lakeshore setback is measured 27-feet from the OHWL.
