#920 reqerc <br />Page 2 <br />May 15, 1985 <br />specific case. Note that the wctlaiifis maps show this ar. marsh area. <br />(I have based my hardcover ca1 ('ulations on the setback measured 15* <br />past the low ground.) <br />Please review Exliibit D. Applicant has stated ho is willing to remove <br />certain items of hardcover to help compensate for the proposed <br />additional hardcover. In tlte 0-75* zone, hardcover will increase <br />from 125 s.f. (3.2%) to 194 s.f. (5.0%). In the 75-250* zone, <br />hardcover will increase from 1,319 s.f. (53.8%)tol,J9ls.f. (56.8%). <br />Note also tliat this application requires a variance to the code <br />sect ions which proliibit structures in the 0-75* setback zone, and also <br />to the average setback with the neighboring structures. The <br />neighboring property owners have been notified of the public hearing, <br />but have not commented on the project. Note that the structure to the <br />west does not appear habitable, and that the proposal will not affect <br />views of the lake from either structure. <br />In summary, the following variances arc requested; <br />A. Hardcover 0-75* - increase from 3.2% to 5.0% <br />75-250* “ increase from 53.8% to 56.8% <br />B. Lakeshore Setback - proposed 63'; 12* variance <br />C. Average Setback - approximately 8* variance <br />One of the options you have is allowing the squaring off of the house <br />without the screen porch or deck. I think this is comipletely <br />justifiable. <br />The proposed tradeoffs in hardcover decrease the impact of the added <br />deck hardcover. 1 also feel that this is not a realistic site to <br />consider the "deck ground ticatment for non-hardcover", since the <br />decks for the most part wi )1 be 3* or niore above ground. Note that the <br />proposed deck along the west wall is 3* wide, leaving about a 4* setback <br />for the deck. The non-encroac:hment section of the code allows an <br />uncovered dock at ground f Icor level ’■o extend to wi t hi n 2 ' of a side lot <br />line. The section does not discuss whether railings are an <br />encroachment; railings will certainly be required in this case. <br />You should endeavor to determine whether the ajiplication has <br />demonstrable hardships which justify t lie granting of the requested <br />variances.
