Si�rvey of Property annotated by StafF to sliow proposeci�acldition and removals <br /> G. Property Owners List . . <br /> Hardcover Variance <br /> In Zoning File#02-2754 the Applicaiits were granted a vaxiance to have 34.19 perceilt <br /> � hardcover in the 75 to 250 foot zoue when 25 percent is allowed. The Applicants do not � <br /> wish to increase hardcover and actually propose to decrease it.slightly fioiii the approved <br /> level. What they are proposing is to change the nature of the hardcover. Siiice variances are <br /> granted for a specific site p1a11 tlus change requires another varia.iice. <br /> The Applicaiits wish to enlarge their garage by 404 square feet. Of the 404 square foot <br /> addition 220 square feet is now driveway or sidewallc. The sidewalk fiom the driveway to <br /> the froiit door will need to be relocated,resulting in 63 square feet of iiew hardcover. The <br /> total new liardcover would be 247 square feet. To compensate for this the Applicants . <br /> propose to remove a driveway that extends around the side of the existing garage and replace <br /> it with stepping stones. The reduction in hardcover will be 230 square feet. This would <br /> . result in a net gain in hardcover of 17 square feet. But in making the removals required for <br /> #02-2754 the Applicants removed 21 square feet more of the patio and walk from the <br /> lakeside of the house than the variance approval required. As proposed the hardcover would <br /> be four square feet less than approved in#02-2754. <br /> �iardship Statement . <br /> The Applicants provided an Addendum (attached as Exhibit C.a) fo suppleinent the Hardship <br /> Doctunentation Form (attached as Exhibit $), and should be asked for additional testimony <br /> regarding the application. <br /> Hardship Analysis .. <br /> � In considerilrg upplications for varinnce, the Planning Co�nmissio�t s/iaU co�rsitler t/te effect of theproposed <br /> varia�tce upon t/�e leealt/t, safety atttl welfare of t/�e co�rmuntity, ea:isting anrl a�rticipated traffrc conJitio�rs, <br /> lighi and air, rlufzger of frre, risk to t/iepublic sufety, untl the effect on va/ues ofproperty in t/ie surrounding <br /> area.

The house was <br /> constructed in 1951. The ga.rage, if not original to tlie house, was constructed before 1964. <br /> Hardcover regulations were adopted in 1975. � <br /> Without the variance is there reasonable use of the property? The existing garage measures <br /> about 20 feet by 20 feet. This is barely large enough for two vehicles. The ha.rdcover to be <br /> removed is closer to the lake than the hardcover to be added. It's removal will eliminate a <br /> non-conforining use —parking within 10 feet of the lot line or boat storage within 5 feet of <br /> the lot liiie. Staff suggests that a little more of the driveway be removed — that part lying <br /> closer to the side lot luie than the side wall of the eaisting garage extended forward. This <br />
