The proposed building area is shown to be located outside of Lake Johanna and the proposed <br />survey shows the first -floor elevation is 884 feet and the garage floor elevation is 883.1 feet. These <br />building elevations would meet the provisions of the code. <br />As part of the updated design, the Applicant shared with staff that there is a new request to allow <br />for a three-foot storage crawl space below the first floor of the dwelling, with a described elevation <br />of 881.1 feet. The Applicant discussed a potential crawl space with RCWD staff who confirmed <br />this could be permitted, as long as it is not considered living space. While the proposed first floor <br />and garage floor elevations will meet requirements, a variance is required for the proposed building <br />elevation for the crawl space. A RCWD permit remains a requirement for floodplain alteration as <br />it relates to the new home construction. This has been added as a condition of approval. <br />Chapter 13, Zoning Regulations Review <br />1. District Provisions (R-1, Single Family Residential Zoning District) — Section 1320.06 and <br />Shoreland Regulations —Section 1330 <br />Lot Size and Dimensions — Variance Requested <br />The Subject Property after the proposed lot consolidation has a lot area of 8,372 square feet and a <br />minimum depth of 49 feet. Section 1320 and Section 1330 requires a minimum lot size of 14,000 <br />square feet per single-family dwelling unit and a minimum lot depth of 130 feet. The consolidation <br />of the two lots is statutorily required because of their size limitations and the two lots could not be <br />developed for new residential uses separately. The Applicant is seeking a variance for the proposed <br />lot size and dimensions. <br />Structure Setbacks — Variance Requested <br />In the R-1 District, the minimum front and rear setback requirements are 40 feet and 30 feet, <br />respectively. The minimum side yard setback in the R-1 District is 10 feet and 25 feet combined. <br />Additionally, Section 1330 — Shoreland Regulations requires a minimum structure setback from <br />ordinary high water level of 50 feet. The current principal structure encroaches 0.4 feet into the <br />Right -of -Way as measured from Lake Johanna Blvd and has a 9-foot setback as measured from <br />ordinary high water level. The proposed new dwelling and attached garage would be located <br />entirely on the Subject Property, with a front yard setback of 1.9 feet. Rear yard setback would be <br />11.2 feet from the proposed principal structure, as measured from ordinary high water level. <br />The proposed side yard setbacks as measured from the principal structure are 27 feet to the <br />northeast property line and approximately 44.25 feet to the southwest property line, for a total of <br />71.25 feet. The side yard setbacks would comply with the requirements for the R-1 District. Table <br />1 below provides the minimum district requirements for the R-1 District and Shoreland Overlay <br />District with a preliminary analysis of setbacks for the proposed development: <br />Table 1.
