Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained that the applicant requests a hardcover and setback variance to replace a structurally unsafe ai tached garage with living space. Gaffron noted that the applicant has proposed tradeoffs in hardcover but that the hardcover would still increase in the 0-75' lakeshore setback zone f -om 3.2% to 5.0% and from 3.8% to 56.8% in the 75-250' lakeshc re setback zone. Councilmember L. Adams felt that there is definitely a hardship on the property in that the garage is literally falling off. Acting Mayor Frahm noted that the future owner of the home will probably come to the City to ask for a variance to construct a garage. Frahm explained that he would have no problem approving a variance to replace the existing garage with more garage space, but that the applicant is requesting to eliminate any garage space and replace it with living space. Fr:.nm stated that by eliminating the garage space, it would leave a future owner with no garage. Frahm noted that it will be very hard for a future council not to grant a variance for a garage and that there is really no other room on the property to place a garage. Lou Fegers stated that they will not ask for a garage. Fegers stated that they will be able to landscape the area so as not to appear unsightly to anyone. Councilmember T. Adams noted t`iat the City cannot force people to construct a garage on their property and should not try to plan something in the future for someone else. Adam noted that he does have a problem with the extension into t 0-75' Lakeshore setback zone. Councilmember Grahex recognized the hardship on this property and telt that the amount of hardcover requested is minimal. Councilmember Grabek moved, Councilmember L.
