This application was reviewed as Zoning File#06-3246 � <br /> 2. The property is located in fhe LR-1B zoning district, where 1 acre is the <br /> . ininimuin lot area and 140 feet is tlle minimuin lot wid�li. The property is <br /> approximately 0.62 acre in area and 60 feet in width. <br /> 3. The Planniilg Commission reviewed this application on March 19, 2007 and on <br /> a vote of 5 - 2 recommended approval of the variances, based on the following <br /> fmdings: <br /> a. The lot is a legal lot of record created prior to adoption of the current <br /> Zoizing Ordinance minimum area and width lot requirements. <br /> b. The lot is provided with City sewer. . <br /> c. The Owner is not able to acquire additional property to meet minimum lot <br /> width and area requirements. <br /> d. A house has existed on the lot since 1951. <br /> e. T�he property is bisected Uy a sewer easement. Placing the house on the <br /> street side of this easement would create a hardship because the house to <br /> the west would be 20 feet closer to the lake and the house to the east would <br /> be 70 feet closer to the lake so lake views would be limited. The hardcover <br /> proposed in excess of that allowed is the amount required to extend the <br /> driveway into the 75 to 250 foot zone. <br /> f. The property to the west is also bisected by the sewer easement. Because <br /> the easement crosses that property at an angle toward the lake the house on <br /> � that property is located on the street side of easement. This creates a <br /> limited area between the sewer easement and the avera�e lakeshore <br /> setback. Because of the desi�l of the proposed house and the an�le of the <br /> average lakeshore setback the proposed encroachment into the average <br /> lalceshore setbacic will have minimal impact on lake views from this <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br />
