Draft PC Minutes Application Summary: In 2006 variances were granted for both the subject property(4731 North Shore Drive) and the neighboring property to the east(4725 North Shore Drive) in order to approve a lot line rearrangement and vacation combining 3 lots int�o 2 lots.The developer at the time intended to build two homes for sale following the approvals. One home was constructed. Extenuating circumstances,most notably the decline in the housing market stopped development and as a result, prior to the certificate of occupancy both of the properties went into foreclosure and were returned to the bank. In 2010 Bridgewater Bank,the owner at the time renewed the 2006 approvals in order to resolve the issues with the resolutions;finalize the lot line rearrangement;and sell the properties separately. • At this time Colson Custom Homes,the applicant,wishes to construct a home with a nearly identical plan as was originally approved in 2006. This plan requires lot area, lot width,side street setback and bluff setback variances. In 2006 hardcover variances were granted however, due to the City's recently revised hardcover regulations the proposal fits into the allowed 25%hardcover for a Tier 1 tot and a hardcover variance is no longer requested. Planning Commission Recommendation On January 22,the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of variances allowing a 10'side street yard setback from the west, lot width and lot area variances to build a single family residence on the property. Variances to the bluff setback and the blufF impact zone were also recommended for approval as follows: • The proposed patio to be reoriented so as not to encroach into the 20 foot bluff impact zone;and
