, ' f) r') Site Overview 1. Setbacks - Does not meet requirement. The rear setback for principal buildings in the R-I district is 30 feet The lakeshore structure setback for general development waters is 50 feet. Lakeshore Setback 41' (stairs on deck) 45' (deck) 45' (house 50' 57.8' 2. Lot Coverage - Exceeds Code Requirement. The requirement for all residential districts is a maximum of25%. The principal structure as proposed in relation to the property would constitute 23 % lot coverage. 3_ Landscape Lot Area - Exceeds Code Requirement. The requirement for all residential districts is a Minimum Landscape Lot Area of 65%. Construction of the addition to the deck would leave approximately 71 % of the lot as landscape area. Backt!:round A survey by BRW from 1974, when the house was built, shows approximately 65 feet between the rear of the home and Lake Johanna. A survey by E.G. Rud and Sons from 2003, reveals that the distance between the Lake Johanna shoreline and the rear of the home is now 57.8 feet. The applicant attempted to stabilize the shoreline in 1991 by installing rip rap. The applicant is proposing a l2-foot addition to the rear of the house and essentially shifting the existing deck to the north. As proposed the house would be 45 feet from the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHM), the deck would also be 45 feet from the OHM and the stairs leading to the deck would be 41 feet from the OHM. Included in the information that the applicant provided are two different sets of plans (plan A, Plan B) which show a slightly different layout. However, both plans appear to have the structure and deck located no closer than 45 feet to the OHM and one has stairs to the deck that would be no closer than 41 feet from the OHM. The reason that the applicant has requested the variance is that they are unable to expand to either side or to the front due to setback constraints.
