The lot area and width are sufficient to allo�v development of a single family <br /> residence meeting or nearly meeting all standards of the LR-1C zoning <br /> district. <br /> c. The minimal actual encroachment of side street setback by house (2.5' <br /> encroachment) and portico (<2' encroachment), and the narrow width of the <br /> lot, plus the substantial separation between the proposed house and the <br /> traveled portion of the side street, act as hardships to support the side street <br /> setback variance. <br /> d. The proposed house will be sized smaller than 1500 s.f.lot covera;e allotment <br /> for lots less than 10,000 s.f.in area,and the configuration of the lot and gara je <br /> location will minimize hardcover while still allowing for off-street vehicle <br /> parking in front of the garage. The revised proposal accounts for the necessary <br /> hardcover amenities to functionally serve the house(AC pad,front sidewalk). <br /> A small first-floor level deck of no greater than 120 s.f.should be allowed on <br /> the lake side of the house meeting all principal structure setbacks.The small <br /> lot size is a hardship supporting a hardcover variance to allow 1,838 s.f. <br /> hardcover(28.3%)in the 75-250'zone,which Planning Commission finds is <br /> the amount of hardcover necessary to reasonably support the construction of <br /> a new residence on this property. <br /> 4. 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 applicant and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, <br /> safety and welfare of the community. <br /> 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it <br /> and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the <br /> variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire <br /> hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a <br /> convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship <br /> or difficulty;is necessary to preserve a substantial propertyri�ht of the applicant;and <br /> would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and <br /> Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> Page2of6 <br />
