Due to the proximity of the boathouse to the lake variances are requested. <br /> <br />LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br /> <br />Section 78-330; 78-1279; 78-1405; 78-1434 & 78-1435 – Setbacks: <br /> <br />LR-1B <br />Required <br />(Principal <br />Structure) <br />Required <br />(Accessory Structure <br />< 750 sf) <br />Existing <br />(Boathouse) <br />Proposed <br />(Boathouse) <br />Rear/Street 30’ *30’ ±330’ No Change <br />West Side 10’ 10’ ±75’ No Change <br />East Side 10’ 10’ ±280’ No Change <br />Lakeshore 75’ 75’ 16.6’ 16.6’ <br />Average <br />Lakeshore <br />The existing structure is entirely lakeward of the average lakeshore <br />setback.
