� , � � ,{ PC Exhibit B <br /> HARDSHIP STATEMENT <br /> FOR <br /> THE �OX RESIDENCE <br /> 1095 FERNDALE ROAD WEST <br /> We aYe requestin� a lalzes�ore setbac�Z variance, harc� cover variance, and a flood plain conditiona�. <br /> use permit�or our proposed new residence at 1095 Fernda.le Road West. <br /> A la.�eshore setbac�,variance is required to a.11ow the proposed resic�.ence to be closer t�an both the <br /> 75'-0" la�es�iore setbac�Z, as well as t�e avera�e bui�ding setbac�line. Currently t�e existin� <br /> liouse is located within approximately 20'-0" o�t�ie ordinary�ig�water line at t�e closest point <br /> and entirely within t�e requirec�la�es�ore setbac�s. T�e proposed�ouse is being planned muc� <br /> �art�ier�rom the la�.e, approximately 57'-6" to t�ie main portion o�the �ouse, 32'-0" at the <br /> closest point. At this proposed location, si�ni{icant�ood plain mitigation will be required. To <br /> meet the required la.�esliore setbac�ZS on this site, t�e amount o��ood plain mitigation required <br /> �or the proposed house would be greatly increased and li�ely not accomplis�ed on site. <br /> T�e hardcover variance is required for t�is site only because the proposed house is located�thin <br /> the 0' to 75' zone. T�e proposed�ardcover�or t�is site was based on t�ie allowable hardcover�or <br /> t�e 75'-250' zone. 'rwenty-�ive percent o�the 37,257 square�eet located witkin t�e 75' to 250' <br /> zone is 9,314 square �eet o�a.11owable �ardcover. Proposec� hardcover in t�e 0' to 75' zone is <br /> 3,754 square�eet, w�ic�i is a reduction{rom the current 4,244 square �eet located in this zone. <br /> Proposed�iardcover�rom 0' to 250' (both zones) is 9,294 square �eet, w�iich is less tlian the <br /> 9,314 square �eet (25%) a,llowed in tlie 75' to 250' zones. �I'he project as proposed is a net <br /> reduction o�334 square �eet o��ardcover. <br /> A conclitiona.l use permit�or�ood plain miti�ation is required because the proposed�ouse�as <br /> been moved �arther away{rom the lalze anc� o{�t�e existing �ouse's bui�din� pad in an attempt to <br /> improve t�e la�eshore setbac�Z. Currently the majority o�property located a.bove the flood plain is <br /> located at t�e existing house's location anc�.within t�Ze 75' la�zesliore setbac�Z. The �arther the <br /> proposed home gets �rom t�e la�Ze, the �reater the required �ood plain mitigation. <br /> The current�ouse location is t�e best location�or t�e proposec�.�ouse, but in an e{�ort to <br /> improve the la�es�iore setbac� and neig�ors' views, tlie proposed house lias been moved away <br /> �rom t�e la�e. W�en we attempted to move the proposed house be�ind the required setbac�Z lines, <br /> tlie amount o��ood plain mitigation was greatly increased. The proposed house location was a <br /> compromise between tlie required la�esliore setbac�ZS and the amount o�required flood plain <br /> miti�ation. At t�e proposed location, a.11 �ood plain mitigation can be handled on site. This is a <br /> c�i�icult site, ancl I as�tkat the Planning Commission and City Counci� consider my�ardskip. <br /> Davic�. Fox <br />
