Dane County Board of Adjustment Minutes Page 2 of 9 August 28,2008 C) Lot Coverage Variance Maximum lot coverage allowed: 30 % (8,200 SF x .30 = 2,460 SF) Proposed lot coverage: 29.68% (2433.8 SF), as per revised site plan NO VARIANCE IS NEEDED D) Minimum Averaged Setback from Ordinary High Water Mark Variance: Minimum averaged setback from OHWM: 43.6 feet. Proposed setback from OHWM to stairs = 43.6 feet, as revised sit plan NO VARIANCE IS NEEDED IN FAVOR: Mike Lynn, Roselle, IL, owner Mike Fountain, House Doctors, Poynette, WI, contractor OPPOSED: None ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S RECOMMENDATION: Lane questioned the deeper-than-usual setback from the right-of-way of Waubesa Avenue and large paved driveway, and noted that this increases the impervious surface of the lot. Motion Hamre/Studz to grant a variance of 56.7 feet as platted (56.48 feet as surveyed) from minimum 100 feet required lot width at the building setback line and a variance of 6,800 more or less square feet (SF) from minimum 15,000 SF required lot area to allow proposed removal and replacement of a single-family residence on an existing substandard lot in the Shoreland District, with Condition as requested by Town of Dunn to keep surface water runoff generated on this property from going onto the adjacent properties. (Note: No variances from maximum lot coverage or minimum setback from Ordinary High Water Mark were required, as per revised site plans submitted by the Lynns.) Finding of Fact 1. The Lynns' lot is part of a subdivision platted in 1911, zoned R-3 Residential and located in the Shoreland district of Lake Waubesa, with 8,200 more or less square feet (SF) and 43.3 feet of lot width as platted (43.52 feet as surveyed) at the right-of-way (ROW) line of Waubesa Ave. It does not meet the minimum lot area (15,000 SF) or minimum lot width at the building setback line (100 feet) for the Shoreland district. It includes an existing house with mostly at-grade wood decks and a 780 SF detached garage, for a total of 2,800 more or less SF total area of existing buildings or 34.1% existing lot coverage. Maximum permitted lot coverage is 30% in the Shoreland district. 2. The Lynns propose to remove the existing house and build a new two-story, 4-bedroom house (crawl space beneath) with an attached 3-stall garage and bonus room above. Lynn described the existing house as "sick," with mold, poor electrical wiring and other problems. 3. The applicants originally submitted a site plan and house plans with a larger footprint and 33+-% lot coverage, but cooperated with staff and revised the plans to comply with maximum 30% lot coverage but not with minimum setback from Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM). At the Board of Adjustment (BOA) Public Hearing, Lynn submitted a newly revised set of plans complying with the minimum averaged setback from OHWM of 43.6 feet, including stairs to grade on lake side. The most current revised site plan has 2,433.8 SF proposed lot coverage, or 29.68%, so no lot coverage or setback from OHWM variances are needed. The proposed house would meet minimum 5 feet side yards and would exceed by about 30 feet the minimum 20 foot front setback. 4. Lynn's builder stated that Lynn has already applied for the Shoreland Erosion Control Permit (SECP). Responding to a question from a Board member, Lynn indicated willingness to comply with the Town's Condition regarding runoff. The builder will route the downspouts to new"rock beds." Lynn told Lane the proposed total impervious surface area would not be increased greatly with the new development plan, as compared to what exists now. In response to Lane's question about the large driveway area, Lynn stated that other nearby property owners have vehicle storage property across the road, and cited the need to keep his and his guests' vehicles out of the right-of-way because of a nearby commercial use.
