/ Dane County Board of Adjustment Minutes Page 5 of 8 September 24,2009 3. Appeal 3579. Appeal by David & Gloria Read (Sarah Manternach, Terrace Custom Builders, Agent) for a variance from minimum required lot width at the building setback line for an existing substandard platted lot in the Shoreland District as provided by Sections 11.03(1) and 10.05(4), Dane County Code of Ordinances, to permit removal and replacement of single-family residence at 2251 Williams Point Drive, being Lot 18, Williams Point, Section 19, Town of Pleasant Springs. COMMUNICATIONS: 08/27/2009 Town of Pleasant Springs Acknowledgment. VARIANCE REQUESTED: Purpose: Allow removal and replacement of single-family residence on an existing non-conforming, platted Shoreland lot. Lot Width Variance Minimum lot width at building setback line required: 100 feet Actual lot width: 61.6 feet more or less feet at building setback line VARIANCE NEEDED: 38.4 feet more or less IN FAVOR: Sarah Manternach, 1553 11th Drive, Friendship, WI, Director of Operations, Terrace Custom Builders (Terrace Homes), Agent Dave Read, 2251 Williams Point Drive, Stoughton, WI, owner ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: Zoning Administrator Roger Lane had no comments or recommendations for this appeal. OPPOSED: None Motion: Hamre/Long to grant variance of 38.4 feet from the minimum required 100 feet lot width at the building setback line to allow removal and replacement of single-family residence on an existing non-conforming width, platted Shoreland lot. Schulz offered and Long seconded a friendly amendment to include a CONDITION of Town of Pleasant Springs approval. Hamre accepted the friendly amendment. Finding of Fact: 1. The Reads' lot is zoned R-3 Residential and is in the Shoreland district of Lake Kegonsa. It is in the Williams Point subdivision, platted in 1950, before the Dane County Shoreland Ordinance was adopted in 1970. At 61.6 feet wide x 436 more or less feet as platted, their Lot 18 has 25,051 square feet (SF) on an August 2009 survey, so it meets the minimum 15,000 SF lot area required in the Shoreland district. However, at 61.6 feet platted lot width, it does not meet the required 100 feet of lot width at the building setback line in the Shoreland district. 2. The Reads' lot includes their existing 30 foot x 35 foot, one-story house with a small lakefront deck and a 20 foot x 24 foot detached garage. The house does not comply with the minimum 10 foot east side yard, but meets all other setbacks; the existing garage is in compliance. Existing lot coverage is less than 30%. 3. The Reads propose to remove the existing house and build a new 30 foot x 56 foot, two-bedroom, one-story house with a crawl space, attached two-stall garage, and 6-foot wide handicap access ramp on the east (left) side, leading to a 10 foot x 30 foot lake side deck. The new home would meet all setbacks, height and lot coverage (less than 12% proposed, including the garage), and would be 81.5 feet from the Ordinary High Water Mark. 4. Most of Lot 18 is shown in the "Flood Fringe" on the 01/02/2009 Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) (Base Flood Elevation 847.0 feet above mean sea level). The Reads must either obtain a Letter of Map Amendment from FEMA or the proposed house must meet all requirements of Chapter 17, Floodplain Regulations, Dane County Code of Ordinances. 5. Ms. Manternach emphasized that no additional land can be obtained from neighbors; that only a minimum lot width variance is needed; that the proposed house would be set back more than 75 feet from the OHWM; and that the lot coverage including the detached garage (which would remain) would be less than 12%. She told the Board the Reads would comply with Floodzone. Ordinance requirements, would maintain natural vegetation at the shoreline, and would provide runoff control to protect the lake and neighbors' properties.
