Background FILE# 14-3658 14 Mar 2014 Page 2 of 6 In August 2013 the subject property was involved in a lot line rearrangement to combine three nonconforming Big Island Record Lots into two Record Lots. The property currently contains a 700 square foot seasonal cabin. The property owner wishes to construct a new 2,400 square foot seasonal cabin while maintaining the existing 700 square foot cabin as a guest cabin. Guest cabins are a permitted accessory use; however a guest cabin which exceeds 600 square feet requires a conditional use permit. In 1987, permanent lot area and width variances were granted for a number of the non- conforming sized properties on Big Island. The subject property and the property it was partially combined with in 2013 both have Record Lot status. The perpetual lot area and width variance granted to this property specifically by Resolution No. 2146 states that the property can be used for the following: 1. One-family seasonal recreational use without a structure (i.e. dock, campsite, etc); or 2. One new seasonal dwelling may be built; or 3. An existing seasonal dwelling may be used, improved, expanded or replaced. Approval of the above was subject to strict compliance with all building codes, septic treatment codes, and zoning codes. Because the property owner wishes to keep the existing 700 guest cabin, a lot area variance is required in order to construct the new seasonal cabin. Additionally it appears the open porch portion of the proposed cabin extends into the average lakeshore setback area, therefore an average lakeshore setback variance is also required.
