The applicants were present. Gaffron reported that the application is for a number of variances for a 3rd -level addition to a lakeshore property located off of Shoreline Drive in a 2 -acre zoning district. The house currently exists at 2 P from the shoreline with the deck 16' from the shoreline. A bituminous walkway is located under the deck near the lake. There is an 8.3' side setback where 30' is required. The average lakeshore setback currently encroaches 13' for the house and 24' for the deck and would remain the same under the proposal. Hardcover in the 0 -75' exists at 28.1% for structural and 11.1% for non - structural for a total of 39.2°/x. The lot coverage by structure is proposed at 13.8% meeting the 15% allowable. There would not be much of a change in the footprint of the house. The proposal is for what is by definition a three -story home by eliminating the existing flat roof and adding another level over the main level and basement, which is considered a story with its 18 courses. The street side of the residence is a walk -in with the proposed story to be located above that. The floor plan shows a car port on the main level, open with a roof, and proposed with a second story. The pitch of the roof would be 10:12. The height of the residence meets the ordinance at 28 -1/2' as normally defined; but the house is 46' in total ground -to -peak height from the lakeside view. 20
