The intention is to remove the existing residence <br /> and construct a new residence on the property. <br /> Variances approved in 1990 established a maximum allowed hardcover of 35.5% in the 75-250' <br /> lakeshore setback area. Weinberger pointed out that the total hardcover in the 0-75' setback would <br /> be reduced by 983 s.f. with the proposed design. The property is two acres in size with <br /> approximately 1,600' of shoreline and includes a peninsula. Because the lot is on a peninsula,views <br /> from adjacent residential buildings are not directly affected. The new house is being moved further <br /> from the lake leaving more lake view for the house to the north of the peninsula. <br /> Weinberger noted that staff recommends approval of the average lakeshore setback variance based <br /> on the fact that the property is a peninsula lot and there is no suitable building site on the entire 2 <br /> acres without a variance. Staff could also support allowing additional hardcover beyond 25%in the <br /> 75-250' lakeshore setback based on previous approvals of hardcover on the property in 1990. <br /> Weinberger added that the property owners have worked with staff over the past several months to <br /> reduce as much hardcover as possible. <br /> Mr.Echtenkamp complimented Weinberger on his summary,adding that after years of mistreatment, <br /> their goal is to restore the property to the outstanding piece it once was.He stated that they are taking <br /> a nonconforming property, making it conform and asking for a variance to do <br /> PAGE 33 of 36 <br />
