Council agreed to allowing a 6* fence along the side and rear yard lot line but not 8' high as requested, and not exte^-i^ng into the lakeshore yard area .

List of Exhibits Exhibit A Exhibit B Exhibit C Exhibit D Exhibit E Application Survey with sketches by staff Hardcover Calculations Deck Platform Diagram Council Minutes 5-28-85 3424 Eastlake Street The applicant was ordered to remove the concrete patio by June 15. He has stated that the patio will be removed once the other issues on this property are resolved. Item 1. Applicant requests to keep the portion of patio that acts as a sidewalk between the access door and the patio doors. This portion of patio extends 18" into the 75' setback area in a triangular proportion, comprising approximately 6-10 square feet. The patio is divided into rectangular concrete sections so that removal of the corner of one section would leave a jagged edge. Item 2. Applicant requests that you consider allowing a screen porch (2nd floor) at the southwest corner of the house. The actual dimensions have not been made clear, but I suspect a 10' x 10' or 12' x 12' is proposed. Please refer to the hardcover numbers submitted by the applicant, and the actual layout on the survey. Staff has calculated the lot area within the lot and behind the 75’ setback at 11,270 square feet, which would allow 2,818 square feet of hardcover. The driveway that has been installed, including the back up pad, plus the concrete patios and sidewalks installed, place the existing hardcover at 3,501 square feet or 31 percent. For the record, based on the house size of 2,.033 square feet, the applicant could have installed a driveway and front- walk and stoop totaling 785 square feet. The driveway was not shown on the original plans, and the applicant installed it without being aware of the hardcover limitations. He wishes to add a screen porch, in effect increasing hardcover even more, and would prefer not to trade off any hardcover. A 12 ' x 12 ' deck would increase hardcover to about 32 percent.
