The new home would generally stay in line with the existing side yard setbacks of the <br />existing home. The west side yard setback would be increased to ten feet from the <br />existing eight feet eight inches feet, and would meet the requirements of the Zoning <br />Code. The east side yard setback would be decreased to five feet seven inches from the <br />existing nine feet eight inches. The lots in this neighborhood tend to be narrower than <br />current City regulations for the R-1 District would allow. Most homes in the <br />neighborhood are non conforming and have side yard setbacks that are in line with the <br />five foot minimum setbacks of the R-2 District setbacks, rather then the ten foot <br />minimum setbacks required in the R-1 District. <br />The new home would be setback 79 feet six inches from the OHW level of Lake Johanna. <br />City Code requires a setback of 50 feet from General Development lakes such as Lake <br />Johanna. Additionally, Section 1330 of the City Code states: <br />Adjacent Lots. On undeveloped shoreland lots that have two (2) adjacent <br />lots with existing principal structures on both such adjacent lots, any new <br />residential structure may be set back the average setback of the adjacent <br />structures from the ordinary high water mark or fifty (50)feet, whichever is <br />greater, provided all other provisions of the shoreland management districts <br />are complied with. <br />A string line drawn between the two adjacent structures creates an average setback of 97 <br />feet from the OHW level on this lot. The applicants are requesting a variance that would <br />allow the home two houses to the west, located at 1575 Edgewater Avenue, to be used as <br />well when calculating the average setback to the lake. This home is setback considerably <br />closer to the lake then the other homes in the neighborhood. Using 1575 Edgewater <br />Avenue, a string line drawn between the three homes decreases the required average <br />setback to 79 feet six inches. This is the setback that the applicants are requesting. <br />C. Lot Coverage <br />The existing lot coverage for the property is 21 percent. The proposed home increases <br />the impervious coverage to 32 percent. City Code limits impervious coverage to 35 <br />percent. <br />D. ,Structure Height <br />While the exact height of the structure has not been calculated, the proposed home would <br />be approximately 25 feet in height, well within the maximum height limit of 35 feet. The <br />height is calculated by measuring from the average grade to the average slope of the <br />pitched roof. <br />2.
