Comparing the proposed hardcover to the e.xisting hardcover, both total <br />hardcover and hardcover within the 0 - 75’ zone are markedl)' reduced. <br />1. l otal I lardcover existing - 7698 SF <br />proposed - 650C SF <br />reduction of 15.6 % <br />2. 0 - 75' 1 lardcover existing - 1574 SI' <br />proposed - 252 SF (only steps to fake remain <br />unchanged) <br />3. structure (house, garage, deck) 3297 sf = 15% of lot <br />B.
