The existing lakeside patio was constructed over a basement level well <br />room; the cap to the well room is leaking and the owner needs to repair the area. Since the <br />existing patio needs to be removed to conduct the repairs, the applicant proposes a <br />reconfiguration of the patio to add landings under new lake side doors, within the required lake <br />yard; a variance is necessary. The existing hardcover level will be reduced. <br /> <br />*Please see the applicant’s reconciliation of the hardcover percentage inconsistencies between <br />the 2002 and 2019 surveys. The lot area discrepancy between the two surveys is not <br />uncommon, however it is noteworthy that the hardcover square footage is consistent. <br /> <br />Planned improvements include a reconfiguration of the patio, addition of two gravel areas <br />within a bluestone edging. The gravel is not considered hardcover. <br /> <br />LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br /> <br />Section 78-305 - Setbacks: <br />LR-1A Required Existing Proposed <br />Street/Rear 50’ 116.8’ No Change <br />West Side 30’ 65’ No Change <br />Lakeshore 75’ House 52.3’ <br />Patio 43’ <br />House – No Change <br />Patio – No Change <br />Average Lakeshore <br />The average lakeshore setback for this property is set by a line <br />drawn between the adjacent homes at 1387 Orono Lane and <br />1380 Orono Lane.
