This property is located in the LR-18, single family lakeshore <br /> residential zoning district and consists of 18,510 s.f. or 0.42 acres. <br /> The district requires 43,560 s.f. or 1.0 acres in area. <br /> 2. Pre-existing improvements to the property include a residence <br /> structure located approximately 78' from the shoreline, an attached <br /> deck and patio located 63' from the shoreline, and a portion of <br /> bituminous driveway as located approximately 58' from the shoreline. <br /> Pre-existing hardcover areas consisting of driveway, patio and deck <br /> constituted 868 s.f. or 10.9� hardcover in the 0-75' lakeshore setback <br /> zone where no hardcover is normally allowed. <br /> 3. The actual pool and spa construction encroach nearer the lake than <br /> the average setback 1ine. The pool and adjacent patio proposed will <br /> encroach as near as 21 ' from the shoreline. The pool and spa <br /> originally proposed would, in conjunction with pre-existing hardcover <br /> • not intended to be removed, constitute 28.4$ hardcover in the 0-75' <br /> lakeshore setback zone where only 10.9$ hardcover had previously <br /> existed and no hardcover is normally allowed. <br /> 4. Without having attempted to obtain the required building permit <br /> • and without attempting to determine whether a building permit was <br /> needed, the applicants in the summer of 1988 proceeded to construct a <br /> spa and swimming pool located entirely within the 0-75' lakeshore <br /> setback zone where no structures and no hardcover are normally <br /> a l lowed. Thi s came to the attention of City staf f on September 6 , <br /> 1988 at which time a site inspection was made and the construction was <br /> posted with a "Stop Work Order". By that time, the pool and spa <br /> construction was nearly complete. The property owners were advised <br /> that such construction was illegal. <br /> 5. On October 26, 1988, the app licants applied (App lication #1353) to <br /> the City for after-the-fact variances for hardcover, average Iakeshore <br /> setback encroachment, and lakeshore setback for the pool and spa <br /> construction and a side setback variance for the pool maintenance and <br /> equipment structure. <br /> - 6.
