The applicants have submitted a <br /> revised proposal and are requesting a number of variances to remove a detached garage, construct a <br /> garage attached to the house, footprint additions to the house,and a second story addition over the house <br /> and the new attached garage. The following variances are being requested: <br /> 1. A rear yard setback variance for a 28-foot rear setback where 30 feet is required for the attached <br /> garage; <br /> 2. A hardcover variance for 27 percent within the 0-75' zone and 56 percent within the 75'-250' zone; <br /> 3. A structural coverage variance for 21 percent structure where 15 percent is normally allowed and <br /> 16 percent currently exists; <br /> 4. A lake setback variance to expand the house footprint six feet further into the required 75' lake <br /> setback. <br /> Planning Staff recommends approval of an attached garage and second story additions above the attached <br /> garage and existing footprint but recommends denial of the hardcover variances, lake setback, and <br /> structural coverage variances in order to expand the house footprint square footage. <br /> David Mack indicated they would be willing to consider a reduction to the addition of the house to avoid <br /> the lake setback variance. <br /> Rahn stated he would not be in favor of increasing the structural coverage on this lot. <br /> Rahn inquired whether there were any public comments regarding this application. <br /> There were no public comments. <br /> Rahn stated the street side setback could be alleviated by stepping back the right overhead door. Rahn <br /> suggested eliminating the need for a variance wherever possible. <br /> Curtis stated the lakeside addition consists of 180 square feet, and if that were eliminated,the structural <br /> coverage on the lot would be 19.6 percent. <br /> Bremer noted the lot is very narrow. <br /> Leslie indicated he also is not in favor of the structural coverage increasing on this lot. <br /> PAGE 12 <br />
