"The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under the <br /> conditions allowed by the o�cial controls" <br /> The required conditions outlined by the Orno zoning code when applied to <br /> this property do not allow reasonable use for the construction of a new home. <br /> The zoning requirement of hardcover from the 75' to 250' area be no more <br /> than 25% cannot be put to reasonable use. This property contains a 20' utility <br /> easement within the 75' to 250' zone. The easement divides our 75' to 250'� <br /> zone into three distinct areas; 1) area from the lake shore setback line to the <br /> front edge of the easement which can be built on, 2) the utility easement <br /> � which can not be built on and 3) the remaining area from the backside of the <br /> easement to the 250' line which can be built on. Attachment(1)visually <br /> identifies each distinct area. Each of these areas varies in size, area 1 is 4317 <br /> sf, area 2 is 1489 sf, and area 3 is 2021 sf. The total area of the 75' to 250' <br /> zone is 7827 sf. If we add area 1 and 3, we can build on 6338 sf of the 7827 <br /> sf(80% of the zone),but our home can only be built in the 4317 sf area <br /> because of the location of the easement. In essence 45% of our useable area in <br /> the 75' to 250' zone a home can not be placed on it. <br /> In order to maximize the haxdcover our design is limited to a front load garage <br /> �� with our entire home and gaxage being located in area 1. We then must create <br /> a driveway that is approximately 38' long by 16' wide(608 s.f.) located with <br /> in the 75' to 250' zone. This driveway is a direct affect of the easement � <br /> location on the property. Even with this large amount of driveway located in <br /> the 75' to 250' zone the hardcover percentage is 29.9%, this is 608 sf over the <br /> allowable. Our current survey only shows a required retaining wall along the <br /> east property line,we still need to determine the drainage and retaining of the <br /> west property line. This along with need to have a small patio/landing at each <br /> walk out door, our hardcover calculations include approximately 220 sf for <br /> these items. Our request is for this 608 sf. to be allowed to go over the 25% <br /> requirement. , <br /> We have explored numerous design options; detached garage,moving the <br /> home into the 250' to 500' zone,reducing the size of the home and even <br /> � remodeling the structure. Each one of these led us to more issues. A detached <br /> garage is not a desired or accepted option for a new home with lakeshore <br /> frontage in this specific area.
