" <br /> Kroeger stated when hardships are dernonstrated;the City has granted variances to hardcover. <br /> Jacobson stated if the addition is moved to the back or to the side,they would end up with a footprint . . <br /> that is similar to what etists. Jacobson inquired whether there would still be a discttssion of rebuild, . <br /> new construction or remodel if they relocate the addition. Jacobson stated he would like better <br /> � direction from the Planning Commission ou that item. � � , . <br /> Rahn stated if a new builder is hired each tirne the plan changes,there likely would be a lot of round- , � . <br /> about and that he uuderstands the builder would like to have consistent direction. Rahn stated the ,� � <br /> Plauning Commission has provided direction to the previous builder. <br /> I{roeger noted this is the first time a front setback and a side setback have been requested and that <br /> previously it was largely a hardcover issue. . <br /> Kempf stated the City's review of lakeshore rebuilds shows that for lots consistiiig of 16,000 to 24,000 � � <br /> square feet,only two of si�properties were o anted variances in e.ccess of 25 percent. Keuipf stated if � <br /> the foundation is relocated away fi-om the road,the question is whether the applicants would be held to . <br /> the 25 percent hardcovec or whether they would be allowed 28 percent. � � � . . <br /> Jacobson stated that is what he would like to know. Jacobson stated in his experience as a fortner . � <br /> planning commissioner,variance requests are not predetennined by previous variances and that they <br /> stand alone on their merit. Jacobson stated it is tempting to loolc at other properties and what has been . <br /> approved but that is not always productive. Jacobson stated in looking at this project on its own n�erit, <br /> the hardcover will more than likefy end up at 28 perceilt. � <br /> Rahn stated he might be willing to allow the 28 percent if the fi�ont setback encroachment is removed. � . � <br /> .
