<br />appropriate for the subject property. A 45 foot setback for the principle structure will help <br />keep a compatible line of development along Lake Johanna Boulevard without moving the <br />structure significantly in front of or behind the development to the north or south. Since the <br />applicant had been using a 54.5 foot setback for the dwelling, a 45 foot setback provides an <br />additional 9.5 feet of buildable space than what the applicant had assumed on the previous <br />version of the redevelopment proposal. As noted above, the Planning Commission and/or <br />City Council can increase or decrease the 45 foot front yard setback determination. <br /> <br />Plan Evaluation <br /> <br />1.

Lot Size & Dimensions - Meets Requirement <br /> <br />The previous report for this application did not <br />recognize that the main property and the land <br />between Lake Johanna and Lake Johanna <br />Boulevard are two legally separate properties. The <br />main lot is 15,241 square feet and the small lot <br />adjacent to Lake Johanna is 520 square feet. The <br />total area of the two lots is 15,761. <br /> <br />Although under common ownership, the property <br />adjacent to Lake Johanna cannot contribute toward <br />the total lot area for the house, which has a minor <br />impact on the lot coverage calculations. <br /> <br />B.
