Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator Dates March 20, 1987 Subjects 11121 Kenneth & JayeAnn Zullo/Agnes Stetler, 3160 North Shore Drive - Variance - Resolution List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Memo and Exhibits of 3/11/87 Exhibit B - Composite Survey Showing Effect of "Creeping Average Setbacks" Exhibit C - Draft Resolution Discussion: Applicants propose to remove the existing house on this property and replace it with a new home. The lot is 100' in width in this LR-1B zone that requires 140' width. Planning Commission recommended approval of a lot width variance. Applicant also requested a hardcover variance in order to place the proposed driveway and backup apron near the house, rather than being forced to have a narrow garage entrance with backup apron more than 70' away in the 250-500' zone. Planning Commission recommended a variance to allow 28% hardcover in the 75-250' zone. Note that the proposed house and amenities are 125' or more from the lakeshore. Thirdly, applicant requested a variance to allow an 8' encroachment of structure (enclosed porch, upper level) into the average lakeshore setback zone. Thatencroachment would be ,entrally located on the lot, about 40' from the east lot line and about 60' distant from the neighboring house to the east, Engebretson. Engebretson's house is about 150' from the lakeshore. However, the house east of Engebretson is 68' from the lake, hence per Exhibit B, Engebretson could legally construct an addition exten6ing as much as 40' closer to the lake than their existing house and still be behind their average setback line. (Mrs. Engebretson viewed the 7.ullo proposal in to City office and commented she had no problem with it, and was mainly concerned that it weul,l have no effect on her ability to construct additions toward the lake.; The point of this discussr,m, rind fullo's point, is that if/when Engebtetsen adds toward the lake, it will change Zullo's average setback line, and in fact :ul to would not need a variance if Engebretson's theoretical a,' lit ion was only 1S' out from their existing house. Zullo suggested that it does not seem f:sir •ha' his property rights are dependent solely apon the iis-ight<r adding er riot adding to his house.
