would be met and that topography was a big issue in the variance request. MemberMulder asked if asphalt driveway would be replaced (yes with temporarypavement now). MemberMulder asked if the garage could be placed to the other side; Mr. Jakel ? advised it could but this placement would block the neighbors view of the lake. An oak tree would be removed. Motion: Member Mulder moved, Member Klausing seconded, to recommend ? approval of John and MonellJakels request for variances to reduce the front yard setback to 13 feet, to allow the placement of an accessory building in the front yard area of a lakeshore parcel, and to increase the lot coverage to 38.4% of the required rear yard for the purpose of constructing a 24' x 36' (864 square foot) replacement garage at 3170 West Owasso Boulevard, based on the following findings: 1.Setion 1004.02D (4) requires a front yard setback of no less than 30 feet. Because of the topography of the parcel, a garage is needed up by the roadway. Meeting the 30 foot setback requirement would require extensive filling on a lakeshore lot, which would affect the drainage on this property and adjacent properties. The proposed garage will be setback 13 feet from the front property line. 2.Section 1004.01 (A) requires accessory buildings to be placed in the rear yard. Since this property is a lakeshore lot, it does not have a true rear yard. The roadway side of the parcel is classified as a front yard and the ? lakeshore side of the parcel is subject to the citysshoreland setback requirements. 3.Section 1004.01 (A) also limits the size of an accessory building to 25% of the required rear yard, which limits the size of a detached garage on this property to 562.5 square feet. The proposed garage will be 864 square feet in area (38.4% of the required rear yard). 4.The topography and substandard width of the parcel creates a physical hardship for the application. The lakeshore nature of the parcel, and the lack of a true rear yard, creates a practical difficulty in locating a detached accessory building on the parcel. 5.The proposed variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent ? of the Citys Comprehensive Plan and Title 10 of the City Code (Zoning). The proposed replacement garage will not be closer to the front property line than other garages on nearby parcels. In addition, the proposed replacement garage will be setback the required five feet from the 7
