A) Lot Width Variance— No Change Minimum lot width at building setback line required: 100 feet. Actual lot width: 75.85 feet at right-of-way (ROW) line Barber Drive VARIANCE NEEDED: 24.15 feet at ROW line B) Lot Area Variance— No Change: Minimum lot area required: 15,000 square feet (SF). Actual lot area: 6,320 more or less SF VARIANCE NEEDED: 8,680 more or less SF C) Lot Coverage Variance: Not Needed Maximum lot coverage allowed: 30 % Proposed lot coverage: Less than 30% (reflecting shed removal, and not including the "old icehouse foundation," which is not a structure as defined in the Zoning Ordinance, for lot coverage purposes). D) Variance - Minimum Averaged Setback from Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) Variance: Not Needed, as per revised site plan showing 6'x21' deck addition: Minimum averaged setback from OHWM: 19.3 feet Proposed setback from OHWM: Minimum of 19.3 feet F) Setback from Class E Road Variance: Minimum setback from right-of-way required: 30 feet. Proposed setback from right-of-way line: 15 more or less feet VARIANCE NEEDED: 15 more or less feet, as per revised site plan showing 24'x26' addition. IN FAVOR: John & Monica Quale, McFarland, WI, owners OPPOSED: None ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S RECOMMENDATION: No objection or recommendation, as reported by Schutte; Lane recognized the effort made by the Quales to reduce total variances requested. Motion: Long/ Studz to grant revised appeal for variances from minimum lot width at the building setback line and minimum lot area in the Shoreland district and from minimum setback from right-of— way of Barber Drive, as per revised site plans presented. Schulz suggested a friendly amendment to add the Condition requested by the Town of Dunn: "[K]eeping the surface water run-off generated on this property from going onto the adjacent properties." Long and Studz accepted the amendment. Finding of Fact: Revisions to Appeal 3537 since 08/28/2008 Public Hearing: 1. Reduce size of proposed garage, enclosed entry and covered porch from 24'x30' to 24'x26.' 2. Eliminate all proposals to develop the "old icehouse foundation" as a boathouse. It will be left in its current condition. 3. Build a modest 6'x21' deck on the lake side of the house, replacing the current illegal stairway. Reduce the number of stairways to grade from two to one, and build the new stairway toward the road, not the lake. 4. Remove the existing shed. 5. Remove part of existing concrete paving on south side of proposed garage addition. 6. Provide for infiltration areas using existing and proposed lawn and garden areas. Conclusions: 1. Unnecessary Hardship: It would be unnecessarily burdensome to deny improvement of an existing permitted residential use. The applicant's health-related needs are a matter of personal convenience, not a legal hardship. 2. Unique Limitations of the Property: The wider-than-usual right-of-way and the "old icehouse foundation" are unique characteristics, limiting the use of the property.
