The existing home has a current deck encroaching into the average lakeshore setback <br />and 75’ lakeshore setback. The existing lot is also over the maximum hardcover limit. While the <br />proposal expands the deck footprint over the existing awning, the footprint of the overall <br />improvement and the hardcover remain unchanged. The proposed deck is the same footprint <br />as the existing improvements. The overall improvement will create a safe entryway to the <br />house and is in character with the other homes in the neighborhood. <br /> <br />LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br />Section 78-350– Setbacks: <br />DISTRICT LR-1C Required Existing Proposed <br />Rear 30’ 2.8’ No Change <br />Side (East) 7.5’ 7.6’ No Change <br />Side (West) 7.5’ 1.6’ No Change <br />Lakeshore 75’ 69’ 69’ No Change <br />Average Lakeshore Approximately half of deck encroaches as shown in Exhibit C <br /> <br />Section 78-350 – Lot Area/Width: <br />DISTRICT LR-1C Lot Area Lot Width <br />Required 21,780 s.f.

The existing <br />house is situated in a nonconforming location with the existing deck, awning and stairs <br />encroaching into both the average lakeshore setback and 75’ lakeshore setback. <br /> <br />A variance is required when a property is over the allowed hardcover maximum and a project is <br />changing the nature of the hardcover. The proposed hardcover level of 56.4%, where 25% is
