A hardcover variances in the 0-75' zone is not justified since the removal <br /> of existing residence and deck allows for the replacement of a new house <br /> and deck meeting the 75' lakeshore setback and therefore any hardcover in <br /> the 0-75' zone can easily be avoided. Applicant has not shown adequate <br /> hardship to justify placement of hardcover in the 0-75' zone. <br /> O. Hardcover in the 75-250' zone is proposed to increase from 24.6% existing <br /> to 31% proposed by applicant. Moving the proposed house and deck out <br /> of the 0-75' zone results in a final hardcover (accounting for reduced <br /> sidewalk length) of approximately 4,600 s.f. or 35.0% in the 75-250' zone. <br /> This percentage increase is justified by the hardcover elimination in the 0- <br /> 75' zone. Further, hardcover in the 250-500' zone will increase from the <br /> existing 22.8% to 60% proposed by the applicant where only 30% is <br /> normally allowed, however, a hardship is the small size of the 250-500' <br /> zone and the variance is justified by the concurrent removal of hardcover <br /> in the 0-75' zone and general reconstruction of hardcover at locations <br /> further from the lake than currently exists. Overall hardcover on the <br /> property is proposed to decrease from 5,715 s.f. (28.5%) to approximately <br /> 5,350 s.f. (26.7%), where the entire lot would normally be allowed 18.3% <br /> hardcover under normal hardcover limitations. <br /> 4. The City Council finds that the negative impact on sizes and house layout and <br /> improved location of the residence in relation to lot lines as compared to the existing <br /> residence, is adequate justification for granting of the requested side setback <br /> variances for the new residence, but only in conjunction with a reduction of the side <br /> roof overhangs to a width of 1', resulting in no overhang encroachment nearer than <br /> 8.5' from the side lot lines." <br /> 5. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br /> recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by <br /> the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and <br /> welfare of the community. <br /> Page 3 of 7 <br />
