(1.12 acres), 161’ wide at OHWL and at 75’ setback List of Exhibits: Exhibit A. Draft Resolution Exhibit B. Notice of PC Action dated 2/19/16 Exhibit C. Draft Planning Commission Minutes of 2/16/16 Exhibit D. PC Staff Report & Exhibits dated 2/12/16 Brief Background Dicon Addition was originally platted in 1974 with three building lots served by a short public road and cul-de-sac, known as Scotch Pine Lane. At that time the property was zoned R-1C, minimum required lot size 1.0 acre. The residence at 2455 North Shore Drive (originally 2455 Scotch Pine Lane) was constructed on Lot 1 in 1974 under the R-1C standards, which at that time included side setbacks of 10 feet. In 1975 the zoning in this area changed to LR-1A, requiring 2 acres and 30’ side setbacks. In 1979 a variance was granted for the property to revise the driveway layout and add a detached garage 10’ from the west side lot line. In 1994 hardcover and east side setback variances were granted in order to construct an elevator addition. In 1995 the road was vacated and the properties replatted to create Scotch Pine Addition. As part of the replat, Lot 1 (2455) was redefined as a “back lot” accessing North Shore Drive by a 25’-wide outlot, and as a consequence became subject to the back lot standards of the zoning code (Section Application Summary: The applicant requests variances or other mechanism to allow additions and improvements to the existing residence under the standard LR-1A District setback requirements rather than the 150% ‘back lot’ standards. Planning Commission Recommendation: At its February meeting the Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval, subject to City Attorney review of most appropriate method to effect the change. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the request via the attached Declaration which revises the status of the property from a ‘back lot’ to a ‘standard lot’.
