#2361 -Yaeger <br />June 11, 1998 <br />Page4 <br />The new cabin as constructed requires the following variances: <br />Pro nosed/Existing Allowed/Reg,uired <br />1. Lakeshore setback 35' 75' <br />2. Side setback 4.3' 10' <br />3. 0-75' hardcover 486.7 sf (13.5%) 0 sf (0%) <br />4. Full perimeter foundation Absent Required <br />Variance <br />40' <br />5.7' <br />486.7 sf (13.5%) <br />Required <br />Average setback is defined by the adjacent cabin to the north. The adjacent cabin has not been <br />surveyed but appears from City topography to be approximately the same distance from the lake as <br />applicant's structure. <br />Based on the survey dimension, the gazebo is located 6.5' from the side lot line where a 1 O' setback <br />is required (variance). <br />Lot coverage by structures is 6.6% (No variance required). <br />Action on the violation citation is currently under suspension, pending the outcome of this proposal. <br />Applicant was required to pay $200 prosecution costs to the City, and has paid a double fee on this <br />application. <br />Sewage Treatment Needs <br />The submitted floor plan for the cabin includes a bathroom and kitchen sink, both of which would <br />require installation of a new conforming septic system. No septic system site evaluation information <br />has been submitted to show what sort of system is contemplated on this extremely narrow lot. It is <br />unlikely that any system could be developed without the need for significant variances. <br />The RS ordinance allows a cabin of this size to be constructed without plumbing and hence without <br />a septic system. However, if plumbing fixtures are installed, a conforming system is required. <br />Hardship Statement <br />Please review the applicants' hardship statement. This was drafted prior to completion of the survey <br />and does not discuss the side setback variances which were identified after reviewing the survey. <br />Staff would note that the complete replacement of the pre-existing cabin eliminates any <br />'grandfathered' status that the old cabin may have enjoyed by virtue of its construction prior to <br />adoption of ordinances that made it non-conforming. The applicant abandoned any such <br />'grandfather' rights when the old cabin was removed.
