REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Department Approval: Administrator Reviewed: <br />Name Jeanne A. Mabusth <br />Title Building & Zoning Administrator <br />DATE: August 5, 1996 <br />ITEM NO.: <br />Agenda Section: <br />Zoning <br />Item Description: #2150 Kent and Susan Swanson, 3229B Casco Circle -Variances -Resolution <br />Zoning District: LR-lC <br />Lot area = 33,801 s.f. <br />Brief Review of Application <br />Please refer to the enclosed staff memo dated July 11, 1996 for more detail and background on <br />this review. <br />Applicants have applied for multiple variances to permit construction of two small additions at the <br />lake side of the residence, each totalling 27 s.f. in area. In exchange applicants propose the <br />removal of an upper level deck at 103 s.f. resulting in an overall structural coverage reduction of <br />49 s.f. Structural coverage is proposed at 3,632 s.f. or 10.7% (15% is allowed). <br />One of the additions involves construction of a single story main level bay addition which will be <br />constructed within the envelope of an existing upper level deck. The bay addition will not ext~nd <br />any closer to the lake than the existing upper level deck. Although the bay addition will result <br />in a reduction in structural coverage with the removal of the larger deck, there will be no <br />reduction in hardcover as 76 s.f. of deck to be removed exists over 76 s.f. of walkway at grade <br />level. The existing deck is located 58.5' from shoreline and the proposed bay addition will be 65' <br />(refer to Exhibit F). <br />The second improvement involves a kitchen expansion at the main level located outside of the 0- <br />75' setback area. The addition will be constructed within the envelope of an upper level deck. <br />The improvement will not increase structural coverage nor result in reductions in hardcover as <br />hardcover improvements exist beneath the addition. <br />Applicants have advised the Planning Commission that based on the final cost of these <br />improvements, they may choose to proceed with any one of the additions. <br />The following variances have been recommended for approval by the Planning Commission:
