Gaffron stated that the applicant wanted to add a two-story entryway addition and a second floor expansion to the existing residence. The first-story walls and foundation would remain. The issues facing the application include the side setback. The minimum requirement for side yard setback is 10 feet. There is currently a 2.9-3.4 foot setback on the west side of the house. The addition would continue the existing substandard side setback. Lakeshore hardcover within 75-250 feet of the shoreline should be no greater than 25%. Currently the hardcover is at 55.4%. The proposed changes to the house would reduce hardcover in that zone to 48.9%. Also, the lot coverage allowed is 15%. The current house is at 16.8%, and the proposed changes would increase lot coverage to 18.7%. The deck on the lake side of the house has a railing that extends over 6 feet above the grade, hence the entire deck is counted as lot coverage. The Planning Commission reviewed the application and recommends denial of the application primarily because of the lot coverage issue. Since the Planning Commission meeting, the applicant has presentc:i st-.^ral options for changing the deck so that it would not be considered structure c->.'erage. One potential solution requires a conditional use permit to build a reiauiing wall within a foot or so of the side lot line to create a terrace that would reduce the drop from the deck to 30 inches or less. Kelley stated he would prefer to table the application so it can go back to the Planning Commission or move on it as it stands. Dampier stated he was willing to return to the Planning Commission. — - ------------------------------------------------- ■ . - _
