Gary Germundsen, the applicant, was present Waataja reported that the applicant has requested the follow ing variances to construct a I2'XI2* deck on the lakeside of the new residence. 50.S*/o hardcover in the 75-250' /one (46.8% currently exists) where 40% is allow ed Per Resolution #4645 Approved in April 2001 and 1,708 s.f. of structural coverage (1,528 currently exists) where 1,500 s.f. is allowed. Waataja stated that staff would recommend denial of the request based on Resolution #4o45 which approved renewal variances allowing construction of the existing house, limiting the applicant to 4CPi hardcover and 1500 s.f. of structural coverage. Furthermore, denial of the request would be recommended since, as it currently exists, the home is over on the hardcover allowance and the lot coverage by structures allowance which was qjprovcd with the renewal variances in April 2001. ^\'bcn reviewing hardcover calculations, Waataja pointed out that retaining walls were added at the time of construction to ensure proper drainage and were not proposed with the initial renew’al variance review process. The driveway also appears larger than what was depicted on the original survey. Currently, the home is in excess of the lot coverage by structures by 28 s.f., at 1,528 s.f. This w as PAGE 12 of 37
