Access to the property will now be via <br /> "Park Avenue(addressed as Tonkaview Lane) along the north lot line due to the steep topography at <br /> North Shore Drive which makes access during the winter months a hazard for both the Applicants <br /> and the motorists who drive on North Shore Drive. <br /> City Staff is recommending the Applicants change their address to Tonkaview Lane with the <br /> relocation of the access to the property. <br /> Bottenberg noted the garage/room addition meets all required setbacks except for the street <br /> setback at the north lot line, which will require a variance to permit a front setback of ten feet where <br /> 35 feet is required. <br /> Bottenberg noted the structural coverage and hardcover on the lot is increasing but is still below the <br /> allowable limits. <br /> City Staff is recommending approval of the variance for front yard setback and the relocation of <br /> access to"Park Avenue". Staff is further recommending that the neighborhood erect a nameplate <br /> sign on Tonkaview Lane. <br /> Smith indicated she did view the site. <br /> Mrs. Koubsky stated they have real safety concerns in the winter due to their steep driveway and a <br /> • blind spot that exists, which is the reason for the relocation of the access. Koubsky stated the <br /> survey shows that the road is located ten feet from the property line, which is incorrect. <br /> Page 16 <br />
