. . . » t because of the addition. To decrease the amount of hardcover in this zone, the applicant has suggested removing the concrete shufifleboard, the brick next to the shuffleboard surface and a portion of the deck located by the residence. These removals reduce the amount of hardcover in this setback zone to 1,155 s.f. (9.56%) from 1,730 s.f. (14.3%). A hardcover variance is required to allow this amount of hardcover in Ihe 0-75’ setback zone. Note; A permit was not issued for the deck located by the lakeshore. A 1983 survey is in the street file. The deck located by the lake does not appear on the survey. Staff does not have a picture of the deck due to snow cover, so the condition of the deck is unknown at this time. 75-250* setback zone- The rest of the existing residence, garage and driveway are located in the 75-250’ setback zone. Currently, there exists 10,254 s.f. (37%) hardcover in the setback zone. The applicant is proposing to remove the brick apron, sidewalk pavers and an existing deck. These removals reduce the amount of hardcover in this setback zone to 9,821 s.f. (35.7%). A reduction of approximately 798 s.f. The driveway on this property is fairly extensive and accounts for a large amount of hardcover. Because the lot is long and it would be difficult to back out onto Tonkawa Road, a circle in the driveway is appropriate. However, there seems to be other areas that would be appropriate to look at for removal. This lot is very close to conformity in lot area and lot widtk (.95 acre and 150’ wide where 1 acre and 140’ wide is the standard in the LR-IB zoning district). Areas of the driveway that could be removed are by the garage and the gravel area. Because this residence is on Tonkawa Road, there is a fair amount of traffic and difficult sight lines, it is important to have a turn around on the property so the homeowner can drive straight onto Tonkawa Road rather than backing out. A hardcover variance is required to allow this amount of hardcover in the 75-250’ setback zone. Average Lakeshore Setback: The existing residence is located 17’ into the average lakeshore setback. The second story addition/dormers will not change the location oi encroachment in the setback. The existing topography, the lav out of the neighboring houses and existing vegetation screening all suggest that the proposed addition will not be within the visibility of either neighboring property and will not encroach on any existing view of the lake. An average lakeshore setback variance is required for the proposed addition. #03-2867 Dan Adams 1145 Tonakaua Road 2/l4.a003 Page 3 of 4 i Ana 1
