#03-2863 1973 Fagerness Point Road February 13.2003 Page 4 The proposed deck serves a sliding glass door located 7-8* above grade. If the deck is not approved, the applicants will be required to permanently block the door with a railing or other method for safety reasons. The deck is at a location in the topography where it will have no significant impact on lake views enjoyed by the neighbor. The visual impact of the deck from the lake is minimal. No construction plans for the deck have been submitted. The applicants have not submitted a hardship statement and should be asked for their comments regarding the need for this deck. 111. Proposed Deck Between Garage and House - 75-250' Zone Applicants are proposing a 266.5 sf deck south of the house and extending toward the garage. This deck would be adjacent to the garage tunnel and would be 6' from the side lot line at its closest point. The deck constitutes additional hardcover. Again, no construction plans have been submitted for the deck, however it is assumed for discussion that no portion of the deck or its railing if one is proposed, will be more than 6' above existing grade and it would not constitute a lot coverage increase. If the deck has a railing it must meet a 10' setback from the side lot line. For discussion, it is assumed the deck will not have a railing and its platfomi elevation would coincide with the main floor elevation of the house. Pre-existing 75-250'hardcover is 1119.7 sfor25.l%. The proposed deck would increase hardcover to 1386.2 sf or 31.1 %. There does not appear to be any extraneous 75-250' hardcover that could be removed to mitigate the hardcover impacts of the proposed deck. 75-250* Hardcover Analysis Existing Proposed House 333.2 sf 333.2 sf Garage 558.4 sf 558.4 sf Driveway 74.6 sf 74.6 sf Sidewalk 153.5 sf 153.5 sf Deck 2>;^ 1 otal Hardcover 1119.7 sf 1^2 sf '-r.
