FILE #05-3110 <br />11 May 2005 <br />Page 5 of 5 <br />0-75' zone. The proposed dormer does not appear to have any negative effects on the <br />neighboring properties or on the lake, however the garage addition adds significantly to <br />the massing of the home and seemingly "filling up" the buildable area of the lot. <br />Issues for Consideration <br />I. Will the garage addition have a negative impact with respect to the visual massing <br />of the property? <br />2. Potential hardcover removals? 928 s.f. patio? 12'x14' shed? Excess driveway? <br />Lakeside deck? Stone and wood borders? <br />3. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Planning Staff recommends approval of the lake setback variance in order to construct <br />the 2nd floor dormer not extending outside the existing home footprint, however <br />recommends denial of the lake setback and hardcover variances for the garage addition. <br />However, should the Planning Commission find that a hardship exists with respect to the <br />garage addition appropriate hardcover removals should be discussed. <br />5
