FOR <br /> THE �OX RESIDENCE - . <br /> 1095 FERNDALE ROAD WEST <br />� � " We axe requesting a la�es�ore setbac�variance, hard cover variance, �.nd a flood plain conditiona.l <br /> use permit�or�our proposed new residence at 1095 �erndale Road West. " � <br /> A la.�xes�ore setbac�Z variance is required to allow t�e proposed residence to be closer t�ian bot�i t�e <br /> _ 75'-0" la�xes�iore setbac�Z,,as,well as t�ie average bui�clin� setbac�line. Currently the existing <br /> house is located within approximately 20'-0" o�the ordinary�igk water line at the closest point � - <br /> and entirely wit�in t�e required lalzes�ore setbac�ZS. Tlie proposec�.�iouse is being planned much <br /> �artlier�om tlie la�e, approximately 57'-6"-to t�e main portion o�tlie�ouse; 32'-0" at the <br /> closest point. �1t t�is proposed location, si�ni�icant�ood plain mitigation will be requirec�. To <br /> meet t�e required la�es�ore setbac�ZS on t�is site, t�e amount o��ood plain mitigation required <br /> �or t�e proposed house would be greatly increased and li�ely not accomp�islied on site. � <br /> T�ie kardcover variance is required�or tliis site only because t�e proposed liouse is located within <br /> the 0' to 75' zone. T�e proposed�ardcover�or this site was based on the a.11owa.ble hardcover for <br /> the 75'-250' zone. 'I'wenty-�ive percent o�tlie 37,257 square�eet located within the 75' to 250' <br /> • : zone is 9,314 square �eet o�a.11owable �ardcover. Proposed�'ardcover in tlie 0' to 75' zone is <br /> 3,754 square �eet, w�ic�i is a rec�uction�rom t�e current 4,244 square �eet located in this zone. <br /> Proposed hardcover from 0' to 250' (bot�zones) is 9,294 square feet, which is less than tke ' <br /> 9;314 square �eet (25%) a.11owed in the 75' to 250' zones. T�ie projeet as proposed is a net <br /> reduction o�334 square�eet o�liardcover. <br /> A conditiona.l use permit�or�ood plain mitigation is required because the proposed�ouse has <br /> been moved�arther away{rom the la�e and o�t�e existing �iouse's bui�ding pad in an attempt to <br /> isnprove t�e la.�zeshore setbae�Z. Currently t�e majority o��property located above the flood plain is <br /> located at t�e existing house's location and wit�in t�e 75' la�esliore setbac�. T�e �arther t�ie <br /> proposed�iome gets �rom t�e la�Ze, tlie greater t�ie requirec� �ood plain mitigation. . <br /> Tlie current house location is the best location�or t�e proposed house, but in an e�ort to <br /> . improve the la�zeshore setbac�Z and nei��ors' views, tlie proposed�ouse �as been moved away <br /> from the la.lze. When we attempted to move tke proposed house behind the required setbac�lines, <br /> the amount o��ood plain mitigation was �reatly inereased. Tlie proposed house location was a . <br /> compromise between t�e required la,keskore setbac�s and t�e amount of required �ood plain <br /> mitigation. At tlie proposed location, all �ood plain mitigation ean be handled on site. This is a <br /> di�icult site, and I as�Z that the Planning Commission and City Counci� consic�er my�iardship. <br /> David Fox � <br /> � <br />
