Wasserman, 1045 Linden Lane - Variance Zoning District - LR - 1B, 1 acre Application - request to replace foundation under existing non- conforming garage. LIST OF EXHIBITS A - Application B - Plat Map C - Property Owners List D - Survey Submitted E - Survey of neighboring property showing exact location of subject garage. The applicant is requesting to replace the foundation under his existing 2-car garage. The foundation walls are leaning and will bec , hazardous if left much longer. The garage opens onto Linden Lane, just before the street deadends. The standard for garages located with doors facing F�.reets is a 30' setback, and in the LR - 1B district, for any garage located in the street ya A.d of a lakeshore lot, the standard setback is 35' from the property line. The existing garage is approximately 12'-141from the right -if -way, and approximately 26' from the paved road surface. The traf. on Linden Lane is minimal, and it is not likely that it will ever be a through street based on the fully developed land use surrounding it. There is room to park a car in f ront of the garage without sticking out into the traveled road, and there is no problem with sight distance. The hardship in relocating the garage is that any relocation would place the garage downhill, leaving a steep grade for the driveway, obviously not desirable from a safety and maintenance standpoint. Note also that the garage is, at the closest point, 5.6 feet from the side lot line. The Planning Commission, at their October 21st meeting, asked the applicant whether the garage could be moved to maintain a 10' side setback. Applicant noted this would likely disrupt his existing driveway to the inunediate south of the ;arage. Planning Commission recommended approval of replacement of the garage foundation in the existing location. Staff recommends approval per the attached resolution draft.
