c. Requiring a setback of75 feet from the OHW would be overly restrictive and out of character with the adjacent homes. The parcel has a sharp (vertical) transition from the road inward creating a unique physical feature that provides difficulties for redevelopment and direct access. Access is currently (will remain) via a private easement with the west property owner. The narrow width of the parcel limits the type, style, and design options for a new home. Adjacent homes are located 38 feet (east) and 60 feet (west) from the OHW suggesting the Witt home to be placed 49 feet (the average of adjacent lots) from the OHW and in a similar line to the lakeshore. d. Given existing conditions (parcel depth, width, and slope), the proximity of adjacent structures from Lake Owasso, limited structure design options, and a requirement to meet current side yard setbacks, there appears to be no alternative site designs that would allow Mr. Witt to comply with the City Code and eliminate the need for varIances. e. The impacts of this redevelopment project, if the variances were issued, will not create any significant community impacts on the health, safety, or general welfare. To the contrary, the proposal removes a dilapidating structure (modified cabin) that is in dire need of improvement and provides added value to the neighborhood. 6.0 STAFF RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 6.1 The redeveloped principal structure (home and attached garage) shall be limited to 2,204 square feet with a walkout basement. 6.2 The proposed principal structure shall be set back a minimum of five feet from the east and west property lines. 6.3 The proposed principal structure shall be setback a minimum of 48 feet from the Ordinary High Watermark of Lake Owasso. 6.4 All roof drainage created by the new structure must be collected in gutters and channeled to the natural drainage way within the applicant's property. 6.5 The parcel is limited to a maximum impervious are of 3,305 square feet or 38% of the parcel size. 6.6 Because of the size of the new structure, existing accessory building, and the amount of impervious area, no other accessory building or tool shed may be permitted on the property. 6.7 The existing accessory building shall be limited to the storage of personal belongings not to include the storage of vehicles.
