- 7 SQL E- Dade County Board of Adjustment Minutes Page 5 of 9 August 28,2008 7. The Quales wish to add a 24 foot x 24 foot attached garage with a 6 foot x 24 foot covered porch and enclosed entry to the front (Barber Drive or west side) of the house. They also propose adding a 6 foot x 21 foot deck with two sets of stairs to grade to the lake (or east) side of the house. They would add to the "concrete foundation" to allow it to be used as a boathouse with a railing around the top. Their plans show a "removable hinged access ramp" connecting the house to the boathouse. Some of their proposed improvements are designed to provide access for wheelchair-bound relatives and neighbors, as described in their application, but the Quales themselves, as owners and occupants, do not qualify for considerations of Section 10.25(w)(am) DCCO Reasonable accommodations for handicapped persons. 8. Quale told the Board that an adjacent neighbor was granted a variance of 15 feet from a minimum 30 foot setback from the Barber Drive right-of-way to build a detached garage within 15 feet of the Barber Drive right-of-way, and that other neighbors recently built large boathouses with deck use on the "roofs." He presented signatures of neighbors who did not object to his proposals. 9. Proposed total lot coverage would be 2,132.7 SF or 33.75%, as submitted by the applicants, not including all existing stoops, etc. Maximum 30% lot coverage is 1896 SF. Difference between allowable and proposed lot coverage is 237 SF. 10. Quale described how existing gardens and large trees on his lot help control stormwater runoff flowing downhill from Barber Drive toward the lake. Two to three trees would probably be removed to build the proposed garage. 11. The Quales suggested an alternative of reducing the size of the proposed deck on the lake side of the house if the roof of the improved "icehouse" might be used a deck instead. This would reduce the lot coverage slightly. At the public hearing, they also presented a revised site plan showing a reduction of 4 feet to the size of the proposed garage to avoid a sewer lateral (96 SF less). Quale indicated willingness to consider other variations of his proposals, including removing the shed and further reducing the size of the garage. 12. Zoning Notes: If connected to the existing house with proposed deck addition, the proposed boathouse might be considered to be an addition to the house, subject to the Zoning Administrator's interpretation. Otherwise, the boathouse would be subject to Chapter 1 — Zoning - regulations as a detached residential accessory building, as well as regulations as a boathouse under Chapter 11 — Shoreland regulations. The definition of a boathouse and WDNR rules do not allow any "habitable" uses of any part of a boathouse; that is, use of a boathouse roof as a deck is not allowed (Sections 10.01(6a) and 11.015(2)). NOTE: Board member Hamre left the meeting at 7:43 p.m. to attend a Capital Area Regional Planning Commission (CARPC) meeting elsewhere in the City-County building. (Hamre is a CARPC Commissioner.) Carried: 3 -- 0. Members of the Board asked Schutte to provide a comparison of existing and proposed impervious surfaces on the Lynn property, and to verify the required setback from right-of-way. They asked Quale to address the three hardship questions and alternatives analysis, including why a two-car garage is needed. 3. Appeal 3538. Appeal by Gregory Harrison (Mark Wohlferd, Design Shelters, agent, for prospective owners Doug & Kate Barton) for variances from A) minimum required lot width at the building setback line, B) minimum required lot area, C) maximum allowable lot coverage, and D) minimum averaged setback from the Ordinary High Water Mark, as provided by Sections 11.03(1) & (2) and 10.05(4) & (5), Dane County Code of Ordinances, to permit proposed removal and replacement of a single-family residence on an existing substandard lot in the Shoreland District, at 2891 Bible Camp Road, being Outlot 10, Dunn Assessor's Plat Number 2 , Section 09, Town of Dunn.
