The property is located in the LR— 1 C, One Family Lakeshore Residential District, which requires a minimum lot area of 0.50 acres and a minimum lot width of 100'. The applicant's lot is 0.37 acres in area and 52' in width at the shoreline and 57' in width at the 75' setback. 3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on March 19, 200'7 where a recommendation was made to approve the variances for the new home based on the following findings: a. The applicant has agreed to remove any excess hardcover, including a concrete staircase along the south side of the home, within the 0-75' lake setback zone. b. The size footprint proposed is smaller than that of the other homes in the immediate neighborhood. c. The levels of hardcover and structural coverage on the property were previously approved by the City Council by Resolution Nos. 3213 & 3329. The applicant's current proposal does not exceed the limits approved for the property. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the cotmiiunity. 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.
