FILE#05-3104 <br /> 14 June 2005 <br /> - Page 3 of 4 <br /> L�Ice Setb�cic V�t•iance <br /> The existing home encroaches into the 75' lake setback between 4' and 19'. The applicants <br /> have proposed lakew�rd additions to the home which will encro�ch 6' fi►rther into the 75' <br /> setback than the existing house. Additionally, the applic�nts are proposing a 2°`� siory above <br /> the existing home and above lhe proposed footprinfi additions. <br /> The 1ppI1C1111S h�ve designed the additions so ihat they will not encroach into the average <br /> l�keshore sctbaek, <br /> Rear Yard Setb�cic Vari�tnce <br /> The existing detached gar�ge is located 8.5' fi•om the rear lot line, where a 10' setback is <br /> rec�uired for a det�ched g�rage with doors facing away from the street. The applic�nts h�ve <br /> revised their attached garage proposal fi�om a side-load 30'x32' g�rage 10' from the rear lot <br /> line to a fi�ont lo�d 32' x 24' 3-stall garage with a 28' rear yard setback where � 30' setblck is <br /> required. With this revision, the applicants 1re proposing to convert a portion of ihe home into <br /> the new attiched garage. <br /> Hardcover & Structur�l Coverage Variance <br /> In the previous staff report the hardcover cllculations niistakenly included the landscape beds <br /> lined with plastic and fabric, therefore the percentages shown in the Hardcover Calculations <br /> table within the April report did not reflect the accurate amounts. The calculations have been <br /> revised and the percentages listed above in the Hardcover Calculations table are accurate. <br /> Appro�imately half of the existing home sits lakeward of the 75' lake setback causing 2,317 <br /> s.f of existing nonconforming hardcover within the 0-75' zone where structure and hardcover <br /> are not allowed. This square footage of nonconforming hardcover, when applied fio the 75'- <br /> 250' zone, brings the total site hardcover to 5,619 s,f, or 87% when calcul�ting b�sed on the <br /> area in the 75'-250' zone. The applicants' revised proposal shows that number at 89% or 5,742 <br /> s.f.. <br /> Currently the property is near conforming 1t 16% structural coverage. The applicants' revised <br /> proposal elevltes tl�e structural coverage level to 21% structural coverage where 24,5% was <br /> previously proposed. <br /> St�ff Anaiysis of the Revisecl 1'lan <br /> A 2,248 s.f. (home and 2-stall detached garage) currently exist on ihe property and at 16% <br /> structural coverage, ihe property is exceeding the 15% 111owance by 148 s.f. Staff feels that <br /> the }�roposal which is for total structural footprint expansion of 682 s.f. (21%) is in no way <br /> supported by a hardship. Additionally, staff maintains that there is no hardship for further <br /> encroachment into the lake setback area, although perhaps n�aint�tining the current <br /> nonconforming setback with a 2°`� story addition has hardship support. The proposed additions <br /> outside the existing foolprint fiirtlier inerease the structural nonconformity of the lot. <br /> StaPf feels that the 28' re�r ylyd setb�ck request is much more relsonable than the previous 10' <br /> setback request and the depth of the lot may serve as a supporting hlydship for this rear yard <br /> setback v�trilnce. In order to �ccommodate the front load glrage in a new location the <br /> 3 <br />
