Zoning History, 1305 Elmwood June 24, 1992 Page 2 Ordinance No. 15, adopted February 1958, amended the platting code by establishing that except in areas where existing lot sizes are clearly smaller, no new subdivisions shall contain lots less than 25, 000 s.f. in area nor less than 120 ' in width at the building line. Minimum Building Lot Size Increased Ordinance No. 22, adopted in October 1959, established a minimum building lot size of 1 acre and minimum 140' width at the building line. This ordinance also allowed the Council to grant variances for substandard lots in single, separate ownership. 196? Zoning Ordinance The next zoning ordinance which affected the subject property was adoption of a new system of zoning districts on September 14 , 1967. Subject property became located within the R-1C single family residential zoning district, requiring building lot standards of 1 acre in area, 140' lot width, front yard setback 35' , rear yard setback 30' , side yard setback adjacent to street 20' , and side-yard setback-adjacent-to-another-lot, 10'. 1974 Rezoning On December 19, 1974 new zoning district classifications were again adopted. Subject property became part of the LR-1B single family lakeshore residential zoning district, requiring 1 acre in area, 140' lot width, 35' front yard setback, 30' rear yard setback, 35' side yard adjacent to street setback, and 10' side-yard-adjacent to-another-lot setback. These lot area, width, and setback standards are currently in effect. Other Zoning Ordinances Which Affect Buildability of Subject Property The first establishment of setbacks for primary and accessory structures occurred via Ordinance No. 45 in August 1962. That ordinance required that each structure to be used as a dwelling be set back from the street property line a distance of 30', and 10' from the side property lines. This ordinance also required that any accessory structures be at least 10' from any property line. It further required that new dwellings be located generally in line with other such structures on adjacent lots. It also required that no garage be located closer than 30' to the street property line or closer to 10 ' from any other property line. The 1974 zoning ordinance referenced above adopted hardcover regulations which limit hardcover in areas between 75 and 250' from the lake to 25�, and limits nardcover in areas 250-500' from the lake to 30$ . ��, � : ��', i ' �� � �s��
