The LR — 1B zoning <br /> district in which tlie property is located requires a 1 acre minimum, requiring a lot area <br /> variance. Tlus property also contains 54' of width at the shoreline and 76' of width at the <br /> 75' setback when the LR— 1 B zoning district requires 140' of width at the shoreline and <br /> 75' setback. In order to construct a new residence on this existing lot, lot area and lot <br /> width variances must be granted as the lot doesn't ineet the 80% miniinums allowing for <br /> adininistrative approval. <br /> Side Street Setback Variance <br /> The applicant is also requesting a setUack variance to the right-of-way known as Rest <br /> Point Lane. The Zoning Ordinance requires a 35' setback from side yards adjacent to a <br /> street, where the applicant has proposed a 23' setback. The applicant has proposed a <br /> house 50' in width angled to maximize views to the lake, which results in the 23' setback <br /> and thus the request for a variance. <br /> Hardship Statement <br /> Applicant has provided a brief hardship statement in Exhibit B, and should be asked for <br /> additional testimony regarding the application. <br /> Hardshi Anal sis <br /> In co�rsiderifrg app/icatiars.for variance, the Plrurniirg Connnission s/�a/!consider!ke effi�ct of the <br /> proposed variuirce trpon t/re /rea/tlr, safeh� ruid welfare of t/re cof�rnur»itJ�, e�isting nii�! «irticiprrted <br /> traffrc co�rr/itio�rs, !ig/1t a�rd air, dnnger of fire, risk 10 tl�e piiblic safety, �r�rd the effect on vrrk�es of <br /> property in the surrocrnding area.
