VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 0. 10. #14-3667 TAMMY MADDREY AND STEVEN SABES – 3435 EASTLAKE STREET – VARIANCES – RESOLUTION NO. 6409 Gaffron stated the applicants are requesting a number of variances to put a second story over the existing structure on the property. The lot is very small, consisting of approximately 4,975 square feet and only 50 feet in width. The existing residence is a 20’ x 28’, one-story home with some attic space and no basement. Gaffron indicated there are a number of small lots in this area that were created 100 years ago and are backed up to the creek. The 929.4’ contour abuts the back of the property so it is technically a lakeshore lot with a setback even though it really does not have functional access to the lake. Gaffron noted the variances being requested are rear/street, lake, and side yard setback variance approvals in order to construct a second story over the existing home 13.9 feet from the east side and 15.7 feet from the west side lot lines where 30 feet setbacks are required; 52 feet from the OHWL where a 75-foot setback is required; and 19.8 feet from the street where a 50-foot setback is required. Gaffron stated in his view the proposal is similar to other projects in the neighborhood and will not change the character of the area. Gaffron stated the house has existed in this location for at least 30 years and it is yet to be determined whether the foundation will support a second story. Whether the foundation needs to be replaced does not affect the placement of the second story and it is Staff’s recommendation that in the event the foundation requires total replacement, it will not require further Council review as long as the building footprint, height and building envelope are not changed. Levang asked if the hardcover could be reduced by attaching the garage to the house.
