The property is located on a peninsula of land, with almost the entire lot <br /> � being located within the 75 foot setback. Additions were constructed to the home in 1991. <br /> The applicant is requesting variances to allow lak�ward and upward structural expansions of the existing <br /> home. Since over 99 percent of the property is located within the 75 foot setback area,the properly � <br /> cannot be built on without variances. The existing home is approximately 25 feet wide and 75 feet long. <br /> The expansions being proposed will almost double�the width and add nearly 15 feet in length. The <br /> project also would bring the structure closer to the:lake on all sides. <br /> � <br /> 1 <br /> (#07-3305 James Zimmerman,2745 Shadywood;Road,Continued) � <br /> �I <br /> Staff feels the additional structural hardcover may Ue reaching a level of excess and that the property <br /> owner currently has reasonable use of the property:�Planning Staff recommends denial of the variances: <br /> 4 <br /> Jacobson distributed and read a letter addressed to the Planning Commission from Mr.Zimmerman <br /> regarding his project. : i <br /> Graten stated there are four different options they would like to discuss tonight for the driveway in an � <br /> attempt to address the issues raised by the City. Option one basically leaves the driveway as it,with the <br /> proposal being to expand the hardcover by approximately four percent in connection with the expansion <br /> of the house. The overall hardcover on the site is cui-rently 25.4 percent.The shoreline has been <br /> replanted with native plantings to help filter the runoi <br /> I <br /> Graten stated option two reduces the turnaround and lowers the hardcover by approximately two . <br /> percent. Graten noted there is an easement that impacts their ability to some extent to construct on the <br /> property. � <br /> Curtis stated to her understanding there is an easement but that the City Attorney does not feel the <br /> easement negatively impacts the property owner's ability to build on the lot. • <br /> �� <br /> Graten stated option three retains the general shape of the existing turnaround but narrows its width <br /> down to eight feet from 12 feet,which reduces the ha jdcover to 24.48 percent. Option four eliminates <br /> the turnaround entirely. In addition,the property owner is proposing to add additional plantings and a <br /> rain garden within the center of the turnaround. � <br /> a <br /> Kempf noted the City Engineer had recommended that the driveway be repaved as part of the rain <br /> garden project. � <br /> � <br /> Graten stated they would verify that the driveway is sloped adequately to drain the water toward the rain <br /> garden. Graten indicated they are proposing to changeSthe pitch of the roof and would be willing to <br /> work with the City on that issue. I <br /> Jacobson stated the easement, in their opinion, does impact their ability to construct on the lot. <br /> i <br /> � <br />
