APPEAL #02-2001
Petitioner: Kenneth and Elizabeth Behrendt
Residence: W186 S7701 Lincoln Drive / Tax Key No. 2195.113
Appeal #03-2001
REQUESTING: Under the direction of Chapter 17 Zoning Ordinance: Section 3.08(1)
Appeal Provisions, Petitioner seeks the following variances:
Chapter 17—Zoning Ordinance: Section 5.02 Building Location
(1) Location Restricted: No building shall be hereafter erected, structurally altered or relocated on
a lot except in conformity with the following locational regulations as hereinafter specified for
the district in which it is located.
An offset of 6.75-feet is required from the north property line and 10.1-feet is required from the west
property line. The petitioner seeks an offset of 4.81-feet from the north property line and 4.48-feet
from the west property line to permit the construction of a detached garage, and is therefore
requesting a 1.94-foot variance from the north property line and 5.62-foot variance from the west
property line.
Chapter 17—Zoning Ordinance: Section 4.05 Accessory Uses and Structures
(2) C.4. No detached private garage shall have a floor area greater than 60% of the floor area of
the principal building on the lot.
The residence has an assessed first floor area of 1,077 square feet, which allows detached
accessory structures to total 646 SF. The proposed garage is 672 SF and a shed of 194 SF currently
exists, totaling 866 SF. Therefore the appellant is requesting a 226 SF variance for the accessory
structures.

Chapter 17—Zoning Ordinance: Section 5.08 Existing Substandard Lots
The open space requirements in the case of such lot may be reduced without appeal provided the
open area is equal to at least 75% of the actual lot area.
Minimum open space for the property is required in the amount of 7,858 square feet (75% of the lot
area). The proposal will reduce the open space required by 617 square feet (resulting in 69-percent
of the lot area preserved as open space) to permit the construction of a detached garage and asphalt
driveway, and is therefore requesting a 6-perceny variance.
Zoned: RS-3/OLS, Suburban Residence District as modified by the Lakeshore Overlay
