PC NOTES 071816: #16-3849, Able Energy Co ., o/b/o Tom Robb, 570 Big Island, <br />Background <br />The applicant is requesting a side yard setback and average lakeshore setback in order to install <br />solar panels on the roof of the existing cabin on the property. The existing 19S0's cabin on the <br />property is situated as close as 1.2 feet from the west side lot line which is an undeveloped City <br />right-of-way and is 64 feet lakeward of the average lakeshore setback. The applicant is <br />proposing to install flush mount solar panels on the existing roof of the cabin . City Code Section <br />allows roof mounted solar panels on the roof of a structure meeting the required setbacks. The <br />required setback from a platted right-of-way on Big Island is 30 feet, therefore variances are <br />required. <br />Staff finds that due to the Code requirement for solar panels and the existing cabin on the <br />property in a nonconforming location, there is no conforming way for the applicant to install solar <br />panels on the property. The solar panels will not be visually obtrusive to either of the neighboring <br />properties or when viewed from the lake . <br />Public Comments <br />No public comments were received at the time of the drafting of this memo. <br />Planning Staff Recommendation <br />Planning Staff recommends approval. <br />f7#JHV ht~ <br />M (}t1.
