However,the topography of proposed Lot 1 and the orientation of the home at 3051 are <br /> such that there are little to no lake views over proposed Lot 1 from 3051. As Lot 1 is located entirely <br /> within the average lakeshore setback of 3051 Farview Lane variances will be required at the time of the <br /> construction of a new home. The applicant would like to address this average lakeshore setback issue <br /> prior to the sale of the property. <br /> The existing home on Lot 2 is located 200 feet from the OHWL. The applicant suggests that allowing <br /> future new home to be built on the property at the 75-foot setback would not adversely affect views of the <br /> lake enjoyed from homes on proposed Lot 1 or Lot 3. <br /> The applicant has requested variances to allow homes to be consiructed on proposed Lot 1 and Lot 2 up to <br /> the 75-foot setback. It is the applicant's intent that Lot 3 will conform to an average lakeshore setback <br /> line between proposed Lot 2 and the adjacent home at 2865 Little Orchard Way. <br /> Based on the location of the two adjacent homes,the permitted location of a home on proposed Lot 1 <br /> would be nearly 600 feet from the lakeshore. This location would likely have no lake views and would <br /> potentially impact septic treatment areas. A home on proposed Lot 1 that is located 75 and 300 feet from <br /> the OHWL would allow the site's natural drainage-way to remain rather than altering the grade,removing <br /> numerous trees and moving considerable amounts of earth to push the home farther from the lake. <br /> The shoreline curves slightly;none of the proposed lots would appear to impact views of the lake from <br /> the other. Proposed Lot 3 would maintain the average lakeshore setback as deternuned by the home on <br /> the adjacent lot on Little Orchard Way and proposed Lot 2. Due to the large lot sizes, orientation of the <br /> lots in relation to each other and the lots' orientation to the lakeshore,the applicant's request to allow <br /> homes to be constructed up to the 75-foot setback on proposed Lot l and Lot 2 may be reasonable. <br /> Placing homes in the applicant's suggested located do not appear to negatively impact the lake views as <br /> enjoyed from adjacent homes. The properties are over four acres in area,heavily wooded, and there are <br /> no anticipated drainage issues with future development of the lots. <br /> Staff recommends approval of the average setback variances for proposed Lot 1 and Lot 2 to allow <br /> construction of new homes up to the 75-foot setback if the Planning Commission deems it appropriate. <br /> Based on the size of the lots and the orientation to the lakeshore, Staff is comfortable recommending <br /> approval of <br /> Feuss asked if on Lot 1 the lake views will not be impacted <br /> Page � <br /> 16 • <br />
