16-3819 ' <br /> April 13,2016 <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br /> Conformity with Zaning District Lot Requirements <br /> The property is zoned LR-1B, Singie Family Lakeshore Residential District, which allows for <br /> single family residential uses with a minimum lot size of 1.0 dry buildable acres, and minimum <br /> lot width of 140' measured at the shoreline and at the 75' lakeshore setback line. F.ach of the <br /> three lots appears to meet the 1.00 acre dry buildable requirement and each appears to meet the <br /> width requirement for lakeshore lots, which is defined as follows: "Lot width means the <br /> horizo►etal drstance between side lot lines measured at the following locations: (2) For lots <br /> which abul a lake or tributary, at the shore[ine measured in a straight line between the points <br /> at which the side lot lines intersect the OHWL, and at the required structure setback from the <br /> OHR'L, measured in a straight line between the points of intersection of the side lot lines with <br /> the structure setback line." Despite the elongated and narrow shape of the lots, they do meet <br /> the required width at the required measuring points. <br /> The setback lines depicted on the survey would appear to meet the minimum LR-1B <br /> requirements of 35' street, 35' side street, l0' sides, and 75' lakeshore. <br /> Average lakeshore se�back when dividing lakeshore property does result in some unique <br /> relationships between homes. In this proposed subdivision, Lots 1 and 2 each have a homesite <br /> depicted that meets the 75' setback, as well as the average setback as defined by a line between <br /> the existing residence at 800 I�'orth Arm and the existing residence at 790 North Arm. However, <br /> a number of scenarios could result in encroachments of an average setback line that is redefined <br /> as development occurs: <br /> - If the first home built is in the"possible house" location shown on Lot 2,that changes the <br /> average setback Iine for future replacement of the existing house on Lot 3, and would <br /> force such replacement to move far back on the lot ta where it is barely 100' wide; <br /> - If the first home built is farther back on Lot 1 than shown to avoid having a lakeshore <br /> yard thaf is very steep at the edge of the bluff, the average setback for a home on Lot 2 <br /> would change. <br /> - If the first home built is a replacement for the existing house on Lot 3, and it's moved <br /> further back in order to have house, decks, etc. meet the 75' setback, then the average <br /> setback for Lot 2 would be affected, and potentially also the average setback for Lot 1 <br /> The most logical solution here is that the allowable lake setback for each lot be established as <br /> part of the subdivision approvals, and these would be in effect regardless how or in what order <br /> the three lots are developed or redeveloped. How this is structured could have an impact on the <br /> average setback lines applicable to the adjacent homes at 790 North Arm Drive and 830 <br /> Windjammer Lane. <br /> Relatiouship to Surrouflding Development <br /> The proposed single-family development is similar in chara.eter to surrounding development. To <br /> the imrnediate south, the homes on Windjammer Lane are all on approximately 1 acre lots. To <br /> the north, lakeshore lots generally range in size from just under '/z acre to as much as 1.3 acres. <br /> The newly platted lots in Lakeview are typically 2-2.5 acres in area. <br /> General Site Characteristics <br /> The westerly 2/3 of the property is generally open, while the steep slope (possibly bluff� area <br /> along the lakeshore of proposed Lot 1 is heavily wooded.
