• There is also erosion of the retaining walls along the lake, we will work with a landscaper, the city and the DNR on appropriate permitting to bring this up to date as well. Proposed Project The applicant has developed a rebuild that emulates the existing home in style and scale. Designs, elevations and a survey are attached with this submission, that demonstrate the plan as outlined below: 1. We have designed the rebuild to be to meet the existing home dimensions and volume for the area in which it encroaches into the lakeshore set back. 2. The current home is 61’ from the lake and the home is 30’ wide. 3. Exiting home is 14’ closer to the lake as it sits now than city ordinance allows for new homes. 4. The proposed rebuild is asking for a 10.5’ setback variance for a 28’ wide (2’ smaller than existing) dwelling up until the 75’ setback mark. In fact, we are moving the house back 3.5’ from its current position. At that point the home design will be modified to meet clients needs as explained throughout. 5. We will also be centering the home on the lot (see existing survey and proposed survey). This will allow for equal space from both neighbors and room to plant trees for privacy on both sides. 6. The neighbor to the south’s lake views will not be changed as the home will not sit any closer to the lake then it already does. In fact we are moving the house 3.5’ back away from the lake from its current position. 7. The neighbor to the north, is a vacated empty lot that will be a new build at some point. 8. Existing hardcover is at 30.49%. The large majority of this is driveway and the large parking turn around. We are attaching the garage to both reduce this unattractive element as well as attach garage to the home. The new hardcover will be a reduction of 5.5%. 9. The new hardcover % is being proposed at 24.99% 10. The house hardcover % is 13.5%
