2. The Property is located in the LR-1 B One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning
District which requires a minimum lot area of 1.0 acre and a minimum lot width of
140'.
3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on
July 15, 2013 and voted 5 for and 0 against on a motion to approve the CUP and
the hardcover variance. The Planning Commission finds that tiie following
factors support the granting of the requested variance and CUP:
a. The Property contains 61,329 square feet in area and has a defined width of
162-feet at the lake and 162-feet at the 75-foot setback.
b. A new residence home on the Property is currently under construction.
c. The Applicants' proposed fandscape plan and stair system have been
designed in a way which offers screening of the stairs with a natural-fooking
slope as viewed from the lake.
d. With a total of 13% overall hardcover, the Property will conform to the
hardcover limitations of a Tier 1 fot.
e. The Applicants' proposed stair system, walls and fandscaping will not alter
the essential character of the neighborhood and will result in minimal or no
negative impa.ct on ad}acent properties.
f. The Applicants' project will not adversely impact views of the lake currently
enjoyed by the adjacent properties; views of the property from the lake will be
improved with the new stair and landscape screening offered.
g. The Applicants' request is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the
ordinance.
h. The Appficants have demonstrated that enforcing the provisions of the Zoning
Ordinance deprives the App(icants of the reasonable use of their Property.
i. The proposed grading within the 75-foot setback area will not have an
adverse impact on surrounding lands. Drainage pattems for runoff leaving
the site will not be significantly altered.

j. The Appiicants have provided a landscape plan which will serve to screen
and mitigate views of the retaining walls and stairs from the lake in a natural
manner.
4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and
recommendation of the Planning Cornmission, reports by City staff, comments by
the Applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance and CUP
on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this Property are peculiar to
it and do not apply generalfy to other property in this zoning district; that granting
the variance and CUP would not adversely affect traffic conditions, fight, air nor
pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely
serve as a convenience to the Applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a practical
difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the Applicants;
and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and
Comprehensive Plan of the City.
