Hardcover variance to permit 32.5% hardcover within the 75 ’-250 ’ zone where 25% is normally allowed and 49.5% currently exists. 2. Hardcover variance to permit 4.4% hardcover within the 0-75 ’ zone where 0% is normally allowed and 4.4% currently exists. Staff Recommendation: Hie following staff recommendation is two-fold depending on whether the application is reviewed as an addition/remodel or a rebuild: lA. Approval of a hardcover variance for the 75 ’-250 ’ zone stipulating additional hardcover removals as shown on Exhibit F and engineer confirmation that the existing foundation is sufficient to support the proposed improvements. 2A. Denial of a hardcover variance to permit 4.4% hardcover, as shown, within the 0-75 ’ zone. The qiplicant should be required to remove the lakeside shed and small wall, the retaining wall along the southern property line and the stone path (the hardcover labeled as “rock wall’’ in hardcover calculations is not considered hardcover but rather rip-rap and will be permitted to remain). The applicant may choose to keep the existing stone pa^ between contours 944 and the lake as a means for lake access. An alternative stairway or other access (between the 944 contours and lake) may be approved at the time of building permit. IB. Should the Planning Commission find that the level of work proposed constitutes review as a rebuild rather than an addition/remodel, staff would recommend that no hardcover variance be granted for the 75 ’-250 ’ zone. 2B. Should the Planning Commission find tlut the level of work proposed constitutes review as a rdiuild rather than an addition/remodel, staff would maintain the existing recommrodation noted in 2A above for the 0-75 ’ variance request.
