Although the deck consists of wrought iron, the <br />Cities codes and formal hardcover policies consider the entire area of the deck and <br />associated staircase as hardcover. The deck will be placed over the existing air <br />conditioning units, and the chimney shaft located on that side of the home will be <br />removed to accommodate the deck. Also, a set of French doors will be constructed into <br />the eastern wall of the house to provide access to the proposed deck. The existing <br />hardcover level within the 0-75’ zone is 3,203 s.f (10.79%) with the applicant proposing <br />100 s.f of new hardcover and removal of 100 s.f This constitutes no increase above the <br />current nonconfonning Icvci. However, because the nature of the hardcover is changing, <br />a variance is reouired.m <br />Lake Setback Variance <br />The deck is proposed on the southeastern side of the home. Due to the curve of the <br />shorcFne, the proposed deck and existing home are located within 75 ’ of the lake <br />requiting variance approval.
