A variance to build within the bluff <br /> impact zone is also being requested. <br /> The applicant is requesting the following variances: <br /> 1. An average lakeshore setback variance. The location of thee average lakeshore setback line for <br /> this property is difficult to ascertain as the property exists on a partial point and the northerly <br /> adjacent lakeshore home is significantly behind this property in orientation. The result when - <br /> using the closest lakewazd point of the home to the south places the average lakeshore setback <br /> line completely off of the subject property. When using the point of the southerly home closest <br /> to,or more impacted by,the subject property places the average lakeshore setback line within the <br /> required 50-foot rear setback. Either of the lines results in the subject lot having no conforming <br /> buildable area with respect to the average lakeshore setback. A variance may be requested. <br /> 2. A blufF setback variance. The applicant is requesting a 15-foot variance to allow construction of <br /> the home 15 feet from the top of bluff where a 30-foot setback is required. Additionally,the <br /> proposal would place the home five feet into the required 20-foot bluff impact zone as well. The <br /> applicant's proposal includes a"possible"lower garage beneath the upper main garage. <br /> Page 7 <br />
