Zoning File #852 and #927 August 21, 1985 Page 4 The F )erty consists of approximately 8+ acres in area. Review Exhibit D, old survey that shows the lakeshore yard. The lakeshore yard is limited uy the following: 1. Steep topography along lakeshore and north west 2. Septic drainfield located to west of house 3. Narrowing of lot along west shoreline 4. Location of existing caretakers house In the early planning stages for the development of this property, the City was asked to grant a side setback variance from the caretaker's house of 10 feet rather than the minimum setback of 20 feet to provide just the right location for the principal structure. Early site plans revealed a septic test area northeast of the princi- pal structure and the pool located in the current septic envelope. The original septic site would require pumping and a decision was made to relocate septic area to the west of the residential structure. If the pool was relocated west of the present septic envelope in the only available flat area, the pool would be placed closer to the lakeshore than the current proposed location. The applicant has asked if consideration can be given for the abundant land area to the north and east of the house that will not be developed. In review of the hardcover calculations (Exhibit H), it would appear that hardcover is not a problem out of the 75 foot setback zone. The question is what kinds of trade-offs are acceptable in the case of excesses of hardcover within the 75' setback area for new construction. Review of hardships stated in Kopisctike's report (Exhibit I): A) Area further west of primary septic site 1. Potential conflict with the septic system drainfield 2. Exposed location to Tanager Lake which limits privacy and impacts neighbors across the lake. 3. Area would require tree removal & grading to create a flat aria and would encroach into the lakeshore setback to within a Lout 40 feet of the waters edge. 4. Too far f rom house. B) Area northwest of the existing house - site suggested by staff for your June 17th review. 1. Steep side slopes (aproximateiy 15-20 foot drop) creates a very difficult construction situation which could start to encroach into the existing tree cover. 2. hnrth facing slope and orientation is not desirable for pool. use.
