. #OS-3102 920 Brow�i Rd.S. <br /> April 14,2005 <br /> Page 5 <br /> General Conuiients <br /> The proposed site grading plan indicates the exisling driveway entrance will remain. This <br /> driveway is less than the required 5' from the side lot line, but its relocation slightly <br /> northward to meet the 5' requirement would result iu the removal of 2 matt�re aspen trees <br /> abutting the ilorth side of the driveway. Topography of the site also would limit the driveway <br /> relocation. Leaving tlie driveway as-is will have ininimal if any impact oii the adjoining <br /> property; a variance to the 5' separation may be appropriate in this case. <br /> The proposed grading plan inchides contours that would direct drauiage toward the <br /> neighboring properties, but proposes to somehow force the drainage eastward along the <br /> property boundaries. A revised grading plan showing additional detail should be provided <br /> priar to Council review. <br /> The proposed house plans show 2' roof overhangs. The zoning code only allows a 1.5' <br /> encroaclunent of a required yard by roof overhasigs. Whether or not a side setback variance <br /> is granted, any roof overhangs extending more than 1.5' into a required yard would have to <br /> be eliminated. <br /> This property is within the defined Shoreland District and subject to hardcover limitations by <br /> virtue of being witlun 1000' of the OHWL of the north basin of Tanager Lake. Although it <br /> does not abut the shoreline, it is suUject to the 75' setback from the 929.4' contour for all <br /> structures. <br /> Summary of Issues for Consideration <br /> l. Is the existing lot size sufficient hardship to support granting of the lot area and width <br /> variances? <br /> 2. Are there any hardships present that support granting of the side setback variances? <br /> Is the 50' wide buildaUle envelope so limiting as to be considered a hardship? <br /> 3. Would granting of side setback variances be appropriate in the context of this <br /> neighborhood aild the locatioiis of neighboring homes? <br /> 4, Are there any other issues with tlus proposed rebuild? <br />
