CASE #88-716: WARREN & ALVINA SHAFFER, 3106 PRIEST LANE, LOT 1.
BLOCK 2, HIGHLAND SHORES, PID #23-117-24 34 0075,
' SETBACK VARIANCE
The City Planner explained that the applicant has suggested
another alternative to what the Planning Commission recommended.
The existing deck and screen porch be reconstructed with 8 feet
from the existing house to .the backyard and 4 feet from the ex-
isting house to the side (lakeshore) yard. This reconstruction
would reduce the side yard deck and screen porch from 8' to 4'.
It will allow a deck exit for the second floor patio door and
retain the architectural integrity of the house by projecting the
screen porch beyond the existing home. The .Staff recommended ap-
proval with a revision of #3 in the proposed resolution to read
as follows:
3. It is determined that the livability of the residential
unit will be approved by authorizing the following al-
terations to a nonconforming use property due to the
narrowness and shape of the parcel:
the existing deck, with screened-in porch, shall
be reconstructed 4 feet to the south of the exist-
_ ing main house, conditioned upon the survey being
revised to indicate the exact location of the
structure and the shoreline setback.
