In early 2008, the existing dwelling, built in 1979, was destroyed in a fire and the <br />applicant has since obtained the necessary permits from the City to construct a new dwelling <br />with attached two-stall garage on the existing footprint. The new dwelling will continue to have <br />legally non-conforming front and lakefront (OHW) setbacks. The west or front side of the <br />structure encroaches 10.4 feet into the 40-foot front yard setback while the garage attached on <br />the south side of the structure encroaches 6.4 feet.
