July 3, 1985 <br />Ms. Mabusth <br />Page 2 <br />A. The area west of the house was the original proposed pool location. <br />Here it minimized site impact by being located along the top of the <br />slopes, met the 75 foot lakeshore setback and related to the house use <br />patterns. This location was later determined to be the primary septic <br />drainfield site and the only location where a,gravity septic system <br />could be installed. With the septic system now in place here, a <br />hardship to the Owner has been created to find an acceptable alternate <br />pool location based on the site constraints and zoning regulations. An <br />alternative of moving the pool further west along this crest was <br />explored but rejected based on the following: <br />- Potential conflict with the septic system drainfi-id <br />- Exposed location to Tanager Lake which limits privacy <br />and impacts neighbors across the lake. <br />- Area would require tree removal & grading to create a flat area and <br />would encroach into the lakeshore setback to within about 40 feet <br />of the waters edge <br />- To:s far from house <br />B. The area northwest of the existing house meets the required building <br />setbacks but is considered an unacceptable alternative location for the <br />following reasons: <br />- Steet side slopes (approximately 15-20 foot drop) creates a very <br />difficult construction situation which could start to encroach into <br />the existing tree cover <br />- North fac;:ig slope and orientation is not desirable for pool use <br />- Location does not relate to the house use and traffic patterns <br />- Location is visible to train and pedestrain traffic along the <br />railroad which restricts privacy <br />C. The location south of the existing house/garage is the proposed <br />alternative to be considered by the Planning Commission and Council. <br />It is the same location reviewed on June 17, 1985 by the Planning <br />Commission at which time action was tabled. <br />This site is most desirable for the following reasons: <br />- Flat slopes adjacent to the walkout level of the garage. <br />- Close relationship to the house, showers, restroom and storage <br />while having a separation from other activity areas of the house. <br />- Sunny lecatton and orientation. <br />- Tree cover along the lakeshore provides screening from neighbors <br />and the lake while providing privacy for the pool user. <br />
