A. Fence The applicant wishes to construct an 8' privacy fence along the south line of his property abutting Fastl . Street. There is a 3' berm with pine trees existing at this time. It is not clear from the application whether the fence will be placed on top of or alongside the berm. The berm was constructed when the new houses were built and is above the natural grade of the surrounding area. By existing codes, applicant would be allowed a maximum F' fence along the property line in the side and rear (east) yards and a 2 1/2' fence in the front (lake) yards extending to the lake. Eastlake Street can not be considered a "major thorough- fare" hence a continuous 6' fence would not be allowed along it on that basis. I believe you are familiar with the existing code sections dealing with fences and can relate this application to the fence along Bayside Road just to t'e east. You could also expect, I am sure, opposition to granting of a variance by the property owners along Eastlake Street who would lose a partial view of the lake. Area properi-.y owners did attend the Planninq Commission meetings where this item was on the agenda. In order to approve, you would have to find a hardship exists and show no adverse effect on the purpose and intent of the Zoning Code nor the health and welfare of the public. B. Patios at 3424 and 3444 Eastlake Street During inspection of the septic system at the newly constructed house at 3464 Eastlake Street staff noted that con- crete patios had been constructed at 3424 and 3444. The appli- cant was notified to remove 'hem as non -allowed hardcover, and he opted to apply for an afte_ the -fact variance as an amendment to the fence application. The concrete patio and sidewalks within the 75' lakeshore seti)ack at 3424 Eastlake Street, constitute 216 square feet or 3.3% hardcover where none is a 1 Z • .-r ?. The concrete patio and sidewalks at 3444 Fastlake Stree- :onstitute 495 square feet or 8.0% hardcover where none is allowed. Again. in order to approve these you must find a hardship, and show no adverse effects on the intent and purpose of the code nor on the health and welfare of the public The Applicant was told by staff that there is little chance fo: approval of varianti-vs for either the fence or the patios, and it was applicants wish to proceed with the applications regard- less. 2
