(1.5 F.A.R. permitted); 21' (75.75' required) southeasterly and 51' (75.75' required) northwesterly side yards at the point of least depth and subject to review by the Environmental Preservation Review Board. Applicant-. states: The parcel is irregularly shaped with frontages on South Bayshore Drive and S. W. 27th Avenue, inducing siting problems. Although the property line extends an additional 20 feet, calculations have been made from a base building line due to the need ofthe City for additional S. 1+T. 27th Avenue right-of-way.` (continued on next page) n n 66 The troperty .is actually 6500 square feet larger than the square footage for which credit is given. The existing heavy vegetation dictates that the best interest of the community will be served by a building location which imposes setback problems on the building. Existing vegetation is being retained where possible. The setbackvariance is ' m6re -technical than real and results from an effort to plan a building which is, architecturally better for the. community. The bulk of the building ; is a function of the applicant's effort to provide larger units and ~a full range of facilities. F.A.R. bonuses and side yard setbacks have been granted on other parcels similarly situated. Recognition should be given to covered,parkinq and overall ambiance. RECOMMENDATION DENIAL. Although the proposed hotel offers a very appealing design, the design in itself PLANNING. does not justify granting the requested variances. DEPARTMENT The site has more than adequate dimensions and area to allow for reasonable use of the land whilemeetinq the zoning regulations. There is no hardship which justifies granting the variances. If the floor area ratio is reduced to the 1.5 permitted ;(a'29,044 sq.ft. reduction) the setback variances would also be reduced as the building height would be lowered.
