Lake Setback Variance. <br /> b. Wetland Setback Variance. <br /> c. Hardcover Variance. <br /> 6. In considering this application for variances, the Council has conside�ed the advice and <br /> recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed variances <br /> upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic <br /> conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values <br /> of property in the surrounding area. <br /> ANALYSIS: <br /> 1. "Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes <br /> and intent of the ordinance . . . ." The variances requested are consistent with the <br /> general intent of the Ordinance. The requested lake setback and wetland setback <br /> variances are in harmony with the Ordinance as the lake views enjoyed by the adjacent <br /> neighbors will not be impacted by the Generator. The wetland setback, lake setback, <br /> and hardcover variances are reasonable and necessary as the logical location for the <br /> improvement is adjacent to and existing City utility improvement accessed off of the <br /> secondary driveway. Shifting the Generator away from the lake and the wetland, uphill, <br /> is difficult and adds the visual impact. <br /> 2. "Variances shall only be permitted . . . when th'e variances are consistent with the <br /> comprehensive plan." The variances resulting in a permit for the Generator to serve the <br /> residence in a residential zone are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> 2 <br />
