Kalin stated he would prefer to see 100 square feet of driveway removed even with a reduction in tlie size of the deck. 'lliomas stated the reason the deck was designed in that location is because the house is constructed on a steep hlulT and that location limits the height of the deck. Raiin commented the deck could be reduced to four feet and be considered a landing to service the door. Fritzler stated in his view the deck does not increase the safety. Jurgens noted there currently is a door approximately 10 feet from where the new door is being proposed. Jurgens inquired whether tliere are any walls dividing those two areas. Thomas stated it is all one room. Jurgens stated in his view the location of that other door tends to diminish the need for the deck. 'fhomas stated the location of the new door is a siraighter line to the lakeshore.
