The variance allowed the applicant to replace an existing upper level lakeside rotted deck (8* <br />X 42 ’) and to construct a 2 ’ x 10’ addition on the lake side of the home. The Planning Commission <br />recommended approval based on the following findings; <br />1. The shape of the shoreline makes it impossible for any structure to meet the average <br />lakeshore setback. <br />2. Neighbors’ views were not negatively affected by the additions. <br />3. Hardcover didn ’t change because patio exists below the deck and was already counted <br />towards hardcover, and *' <br />4. Lot coverage by structures remained the same at 7.4%, when 15% is the limit! <br />i <br />c <br />t <br />i
