Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval of a side setback variance conditioned upon the new lot configuration meeting the LR-1B dimensional standard. Background The applicant owns the two lots which are the subject of the application, Lot 2, Block 1, Wildhurst and Lot 3, Block 1, Wildhurst. Currently Lot 3 is not a lakeshore lot.The applicant has made an application for a subdivision exemption for an administrative lot line rearrangement between the two properties in order to reconfigure Lot 3 as a lakeshore lot. The applicant has presented two options: 1. Create two conforming lots, each meeting the LR-1B minimum area and width (at the 75 foot setback) however would require a side setback variance allowing the existing home on Lot 2 to be located within 3 feet of the new dividing line. The side setback variance is needed in order to certify the subdivision exemption;or 2. Locate the dividing line so that the existing home meets the required 10-foot side setback, however,this results in Lot 3 having 132 feet in width where 140 feet is required. A lot width variance would be required in order to certify the subdivision exemption. The applicant has provided surveys reflecting both options for the City's review.
