A twenty four foot setback is required and Mr. Caldwell is requesting that the corner of the .mobile home be setback eighteen feet. The bank along the shoreline in this area is eighteen feet h.i:9h. The setback is being requested because trees are in the way. the location of the lot line (requires a five foot setback) and the loss of a "prime view". Mr. Duffy read the general variance criteria as stated in Section 1.104 of the Shoreline Management Master Program. 1} Hardship: Specifically related to the property and is it the result of unique conditions such as irregular lot size, shape, or natural features in the application of the J;lrogram.Not from the applicants own actions. There does not appear to be a hardship in this case. 2} Design of Project is compatible with other permitted activities in the area: Will not cause adverse effects to adjacent properties or the shoreline environment. Since there is one home that is already setback eighteen feet, this would be compatible with other activities in the area. 3} Shoreline E.nvironment: Mr. Caldwell states that the bank is eighteen feet high, however a site inspection has not been made to determine if there are any problems such as bluff erosion. 4} Grant of Special Privilege: The variance should not grant a special privilege not enjoyed by other properties in the area and will be the minimum necessary to afford relief. 5} No Detrimental effect to the Public Interest 6} The variance will be in harmony with the general purpose of the program. 1} Consideration shall be given to the cumulative impact of similar requests in the area. There are no adjoining neighbors now ,so a precedent would be established for an eighteen foot setback from the bluff. Commissioner B.G. Brown moved to approve the shoreline setback variance as requested by Mr. Caldwell. (The motion was not seconded).
