NO. � � . � . � �. <br /> S . . <br /> f. Adherence to the "25% of 75-250' zone" limitation would not allow for . <br /> . construction of the residence as proposed unless the residence was <br /> significantly reduced in size. The topography of the site including the <br /> unique elevated nature of the property in relation to its surroundings, and <br /> the location and orientation of adjacent homes, are factors which support � <br /> ,the proposed house location, necessitating a minimum level of hardcover <br /> in excess of the normal allowance. <br /> g. The overall hardcover reduction on this property from 7,258 s.f. to 5,725 <br /> � s.f. is a positive step in meeting the long term environmental goals of the <br /> City, as is the elimination of pre-e�sting structures from the north and <br /> south 0-75' zones. <br /> h. The proposed residence will be located to meet all of the required <br /> � � � . setbacks of the LR-IC District. . � � . � . � . � <br /> � �. . �. � . � <br /> i. A variance and CUP for grading within the 0-75' lakeshore protected <br /> zones is necessary to allow for removal of the existing structures and <br /> driveways and to accommodate new structures and driveways. Filling in <br /> � the northerly 0-75' zone is necessary so that applicant can fill in the <br /> excavation that will remain after the e�sting house is removed, with a <br /> blendi.ng in of the grade to match pre-e�sting contours. Grading of the <br /> � northerly 0-75' zone to create a walkout situation as originally proposed <br /> by applicant would not be appropriate and would not be consistent with <br /> the City's goals and policies for lakeshore development. Grading and <br /> filling in the southerly 0-75' zone is necessary to provide a safe and <br /> . � functional driveway to serve the new residence. <br />� 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br /> recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br /> by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance and CUP on the health, <br /> safety and welfare of the community. . <br /> • Page 3 of 7 <br />
