Mr. Fritsinger indicated discussion of this case by the Planning Commission on January 4, 1995 indicated a general acceptance of the reasonableness of the proposed lot division and a variance . to allow construction within the required 150 feet setback area. However, the requested 75 foot variance was felt to be substantially more than would actually be needed without a plan detailing the location of the homes to be constructed. . Mr. Fritsinger noted Staff indicated that pre-determined building envelopes in which reasonable .- homes could be constructed, leaving some flexibility in the precise building footprints. Mr. F ritsinger indicated Staff made this decision based on the following: . 1. This approach would allow the City to take final action on this lot split/variance case without further delay; 2. would give reasonable development parameters for the applicant; and . 3. would allow the applicant flexibility in designing appropriate homes for these unique sites without the likelihood of needing to adjust the variance at some later date. . Mr. Fritsinger stated the revised request for lakeshore setback variances determined by Planning Consultant Bergly are: 50 feet for tract A (150 required and 100 feet proposed) and 25 feet for . Tract B (150 feet required and 125 proposed). Mr. Fritsinger noted consultant Bergly recommends approval of Application 95-2, proposed lot . split, with 50 foot lakeshore setback variance for tract A and 25 foot lakeshore setback variance for tract B. He noted the following findings for the variances. . 1. The Karth Lake area was developed without consideration of the 150 foot OHW setback and will never be redeveloped with the intent of making all homes conform . to the lake setback regulation. .. .
