Background
Staff report prepared by Shawn Kaye, Associate Planner
The applicant and their neighbor own two adjacent parcels, 8539 Lincoln Street (Parcel B) and 8544 Lincoln Street (Parcel A). The owner of Parcel A would like their home to meet the required 10-foot house setback and existing driveway to meet the required 3-foot side yard setback. The owner of Parcel A is willing to adjust the lot line on the southeast corner of the site (lose a portion of his parcel) in order to gain land for the house setback on the south end of his lot. The owner of Parcel B will gain additional area to construct a home on his parcel due to the minimum area of the lot and because of the requirement that any new structure must meet a 75-foot setback from the ordinary high water level (OHWL).
The homeowner of the existing driveway on Parcel A will need to have the driveway removed in some portions of the lot to meet the 3-foot setback requirement. The two property owners have agreed to hard surface the existing gravel driveway on Parcel A to meet zoning ordinance requirements.
The driveway of Parcel A must meet a 3 foot setback from the newly established lot line.
The property owner of Parcel B would like to keep the existing boathouse/ accessory building (336 sf) on Parcel B. The attached garage on the proposed house on Parcel B is 490 sf for a total of 826 sf of accessory building space on Parcel B. The total of 826 sf of accessory building space would be permitted on site. However, there are additional restrictions for structures within the OHWL setback. The existing 336 square foot boathouse structure would be permitted to remain as long as there are no water or sanitary sewer connections and the structure would not be permitted to be rebuilt and would be required to be removed if damaged.
This is a fairly simple request for a waiver of platting to adjust a common lot line and the conditions listed below are conditions listed for similar approvals that have been granted in the past.
