ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENT: Moving the house farther from the Ordinary High Water Mark and side lot lines improves compliance with Zoning and Shoreland Ordinance requirements. OPPOSED: None Motion: Long/Colvin to grant variances of 3,342 square feet (SF) from the minimum 15,000 SF lot area required and 42.7 feet from the minimum 100 feet lot width at building setback line required to allow replacement of a flood-damaged single-family residence on a substandard platted lot in the Shoreland district, with CONDITION of Town of Albion approval. Finding of Fact: 1. Ms. Dudzik showed photos of a house she said had been owned by her family for 50 years. It was located on 1-% lots of a plat recorded in 1926, in the R-3 Residential district, and Shoreland and Floodplain districts of Lake Koshkonong. The house was about 24 feet x 30 feet in size and was located about 50 feet from the lake, according to a Shoreland Erosion Control Permit (SEP) site plan. 2. In June 2008, Lake Koshkonong flooding damaged the house more than 50%, requiring a decision to remove it or raise it to meet Floodplain Ordinance requirements. Dudzik removed the house in October 2008. 3. Dudzik proposes to build a one-story, 3-bedroom house. At 24 feet x 46 feet with a 6 foot x 24 feet deck on the lake side and a 4 foot x 24 foot ramp access on the south side, it would have no attached or detached garage, but would meet minimum side yards, front setback, and maximum lot coverage, with 11.5% proposed. 4. Dudzik emphasized the new house would be moved back from the lake to meet the minimum 71.9 feet averaged setback from Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM), and would comply with all Shoreland and Floodplain Ordinance requirements. Conclusions:
