of the addiiitm. To decrease the amount of hardcom in this zone, the applicant has remov ing the concrete shufReboard. the brick next to the shufTleboard surface and a portion of the deck ItKated by the residence. These removals reduce the amount of hardcover in this setback/one to 1.155 s.f (9.56%) from 1.730 s.f. (14.3%). A hardcover variance to required to allow this amount of hardcover in Ihe 0-75* setback zone. Note: A permit wa.s not issued for the deck located by the lakeshore. A 1983 survey is in the street flle. The deck liKated by the lake does not appear on the survey.

Currently, thea* exists 10.254 s.f. (37*/'o) 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%).

Beewse the lot is long arid it would be difTicult 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. I liis lot is very close to conformity in lot area and lot width. (.95 acre and 150* wide where I acre and 140' wide is the standard in the LR-1B zoning district). Areas of the driveway that could be removed arc bv the garage and the gravel area. Because this resideiKC 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 propert>- so the homeowner can drive straight onto Tonkawa Road rather than backing out A hardcov er 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 additiorv'dormers will not change the location or eiKroachmcnt in the setback. The existing topographv. the lavout of the neighboring houses and existing vegetation screening all suggest that the propo^ed addition will not be within the visibilit) of either neighboring property and will not encroach on aiiv existing view of the lake. An average lakcslioiv setback variance is required for the proposed addition. #03-2867 Don AJanu 1143 TonaksMa Road 2/14/2003 Page3of4
