Huber, Jr. and Susan Huber (Adam Hebgen, Washa Construction, Inc., agent) for a variance from minimum lot width at the building setback line for an existing substandard platted lot in the Shoreland district and from minimum required setback from Wetlands, as provided by Sections 11.03(1) and 10.05(4), Dane County Code of Ordinances, to permit proposed addition to detached garage at 2817 Crescent Drive, being Lot 12, Crescent Park, Section 9, Town of Dunn. COMMUNICATIONS: Town of Dunn: 04/14/2008 Acknowledgement; 04/22/2008 Action —"The Town Board reviewed the above appeal and recommends approval of Appeal 3528..." 04/10/2008 Dane County Land Conservation Division: Shoreland Erosion Control Permit SE2008- 0037 issued for Huber project. VARIANCE REQUESTED: Purpose: Allow addition to existing detached garage on substandard, sewered, platted lot in the Shoreland district Lot Width Variance Minimum lot width at building setback line required: 100 feet. Actual Lot width: 89.4 feet at building setback line VARIANCE NEEDED: 10.6 feet. IN FAVOR: Adam Hebgen, Washa Construction, Inc., contractor Mort Huber, owner OPPOSED: None Motion: Studz/Reynolds to grant a variance of 10.6 feet from the minimum required 100 feet lot width at the building setback line to allow a 26 foot by 26 foot addition to an existing detached garage on a substandard, sewered, platted lot in the Shoreland district. Finding of Fact: A. The Hubers' lot is zoned R-3 Residential and is in the Shoreland district associated with Lake Waubesa. The 15,585 square foot (SF) lot is part of a subdivision platted in 1901 and has public sewer. The minimum lot area in the Shoreland district for sewered lots is 15,000 SF. B. The Shoreland district associated with Lake Waubesa extends 1000 feet from the lake. Most of this lot slopes away from the lake, toward a Wetlands area located across Crescent Drive. C. The Huber family has owned this property since 1939. They have a two-story single-family residence, a 22.3 feet x 24.5 feet detached garage and a small shed covering 2,056 SF or 13.2% of the lot. The maximum allowable lot coverage is 30% for a lot in the Shoreland district. A Zoning Permit for the garage was issued to Mortimer Huber in August 1974; the existing garage is in compliance. D. The front lot line or right-of-way (ROW) line of Crescent Drive has two segments of 66.31 feet (platted as 66 feet) on Willow Court and 26.18 feet (platted as 28 feet) on Crescent Drive, totaling 92.48 feet (94 feet as platted). The required lot width at the building setback from the two segments of road right-of-way for the Huber lot is 89.4 feet (two segments of 62.6 feet and 26.8 feet). E. Huber wants to add a 26 feet x 26 feet 2-stall one-story addition (increased from 24 feet x 26 feet shown on the original application) to the front of the existing detached garage. The proposed addition would meet the minimum 20 foot setback from ROW and minimum 4 foot side yard, as well as maximum area and height restrictions for a residential accessory building. It would also meet the minimum 75 foot setback from Wetlands.
