As of January 1, 1975 the property has been zoned LR-1B, One-Family Lakeshore <br /> Residential Zoning District, requiring a minimum of 1 acre in area and 140 feet minimum width. <br /> B:�sed on the zoning district's required performance standards,the proposed use of the property as <br /> a residential buildable lot would require the following variances: <br /> a) Lot Area <br /> Required= 1 acre or 43,560 s.f. <br /> Existing= 0.255 acre or 11,100 s.f. <br /> Variance = 0.745 acre or 32,460 s.f. (74.5%) <br /> b) Lot Width <br /> Required= 140' <br /> Existing = 51' <br /> Variance = 89' (63.5%) <br /> 2. Prior to 1975,the property was zoned R-1 C,effective since September 14, 1967,a residential <br /> zone requiring a minimum of 1 acre in area and 140 feet minimum width. <br /> 3. Per the assessment policy of the 1970-1 sewer district, Lot 7 was assessed for 50' of front <br /> footage at $7.80 per front foot, a total of$390, but was not charged the $225 Plant Charge <br /> nor the$1270 unit charge,because the property did not contain a dwelling. The assessment <br /> for front footage did not act to grant automatic buildability to Lot 7. <br /> 4. Lot 7 and the property at 1169 North Arm Drive (PINS #07-117-23 14 0060) have been <br /> owned in common since 1971 or earlier. Lot 7 and the property at 1169 North Arm Drive <br /> are not directly across Elmwood Avenue from each other but are offset by approximately <br /> 1�0'. In 1971,the then owner Gary Beito applied for lot area and width variances for Lot 7, <br /> indicating in a written statement that "We purchased this lot for access to the lake knowing <br /> the current codes did not permit building."The requested variances were subsequently denied <br /> b}•the City Council, based on the fact that there were other vacant lots adjacent to it, which <br /> could potentially be purchased and combined to make a more conforming lot. <br /> 5. The condition of the property and the zoning standards have not changed since the variance <br /> denial in 1971 to make a finding of a new hardship. <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br /> f <br />
