McMillan stated the reason the house <br /> came forward was to protect some of the trees in the back. <br /> Broitzman stated it was also his understanding after speaking with Mr. Gaffron that the primary purpose <br /> of the average lakeshore setback is to protect the views of the neighbors from the front of the properly and <br /> that the side views are not necessarily protected by the average lakeshore setback. <br /> McMillan stated the average lakeshore setback lines are drawn from the houses directly next to this <br /> property and that the line would not normally be drawn from the Nelson's property. McMillan stated she <br /> would like to see the line located 10 to 15 feet further back from that line. <br /> Gaffron stated the Cowards are technically the next adjacent lakeshore lot. Gaffron stated the new line <br /> was reached at the previous council meeting. <br /> Murphy inquired where the 15-foot line is located on the overhead. <br /> Gaffron illustrated the 15-foot line. <br /> Sansevere inquired whether the applicant would like to have his view of the lake from the side blocked. <br /> Broitzman stated the entire back portion of Charrier's house is a garage, so the portion closest to the lake <br /> has minimal windows,with the road curving, and so there really is not much of a lake view from his deck <br /> off to the side but to the front. � - <br /> Charrier indicated that he does have a view from certain rooms of his residence of Mr.Broitzman's house <br /> and that they have tried to find the best placement for the house which would have the least impact. <br /> Sansevere indicated he agrees with Council Member McMillan and that the adjoining neighbor has a right <br /> not to have to look at the side of his house. <br /> Greg Coward, 1950 Heritage Drive, stated when the original proposal came forward,they were looking at <br /> 19,000 square feet,which consisted of 3000 square feet of garage. Coward noted a six to seven foot high <br /> retaining wall was also proposed and that he had concerns about a car going off the edge and over the <br /> retaining wall. Coward indicated he is in agreement with Charrier in the proposed location of the house. <br /> _-� .�°-�.- �Sansevere inquired whether Mr. Coward is okay with the 15 feet. - - - -- - � •-•� „ <br /> Coward stated in his view the 15-foot line is more of a concern for the Charriers rather than himself and <br /> so he would go along with what the Charriers desire. <br /> Murphy inquired whether there would be any advantage to locating the house further back than 15 feet. <br /> Murphy stated the house does not sit square with the curvature of Shoreline Drive. <br /> PAGE 12 of 27 <br />
