The deck is a screened in, half circle, with a patio below and a pergola above. Due to the location of the home to the east, the deck, a portion of the applicants’ home, is lakeward of the average lakeshore setback line. They wish to construct a new, rectangular deck with a reduced setback from the lake (shown in red). The new deck will be approximately 100 square feet larger than the existing. The existing circular deck is situated approximately 101 feet from the ordinary high water level (OHWL); the proposed deck will be 103 feet from the OHWL. Currently the deck encroaches into the required street setback from Fagerness Point Road; the new deck will resolve this encroachment.

Additionally, they have provided supporting documentation regarding Practical Difficulties attached as Exhibit B, and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application.
