The average setback line is defined by the house to the northeast which is <br /> significantly closer to the shoreline than applicant's house, and by the <br /> residence to the southwest which is significantly higher in the topography <br /> and is screened by existing vegetation from a view of the proposed pool. <br /> 'The proposed pool's 15' encroachment past the average setback line �will <br /> h�ve no unpact on either neighbor's view of the lake because the pool is <br /> low in elevation and neighboring properties are either closer to the lake <br /> or much higher. <br /> B. . There is no existing hardcover in the 0-75' setback zone and none is <br /> proposed. As a result of the proposed pool, hardcover in the 75-250' <br /> setbac.k zone will increase by 1,653 s.f. However, applicant proposes <br /> removal of 1,390 s.f. of hardcover comprised of plastic or fabric lined <br /> landscape beds, and further proposes a 400 s.f. hardcover reduction by <br /> removing portions of an existing wood and concrete patio at the southeast <br /> • corner of the house. The result is a net hardcover reduction of <br /> approxim.ately 137 s.f. in the 75-250' zone. Hardcover in the 250-�00' <br /> zone is pr�posed to remain at the existing 4,385 s.f. or 20.4%. <br /> C. Overall hardcover on the property is at the square footage approved for <br /> this property in a prior variance approval in 1988. The net decrease in <br /> the 75-250' zone from 9,095 s.f. (33.1%) to 8,958 s.f. (32.6%) is a <br /> positive improvement. Additional reductions in the �concrete and wood <br /> patio area may be feasible to result in an even greater reduction in <br /> • hardcover. <br /> D. The properry will have no hardcover within 115' of the lake, which is in <br /> keeping with the City's environmental policies. <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 on the health, safety ancl <br /> welfare of the community. <br /> 5.. The City Council fmds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar <br /> � to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; tb.at <br /> • Page 2 of 7 � <br />
