The applicant decided to go forward with <br />the second story addition and the deck conversion to living space, but not the addition to the back <br />side of the residertce. This eliminated variances for hardcover and lot coverage. <br />The attached proposed floor plans submitted will change; however they were included in the report <br />to depict the changes to the south side of the residence. <br />• The structural coverage on the lot will not be changing because the portion of the deck being <br />changed into living space is currently covered and considered structure. The existing lot <br />coverage is 2,064.16 s.f. (21.7%), above the allowed 1,425 s.f. (15%). <br />• The north side of the house is located 3' from the side lot line where 10' is required.

Will the partial second story obstruct the view or light and open space enjoyed by adjacent <br />properties? Planning Commission should consider whether raising of the roof line will adversely <br />affect either adjacent neighbors. <br />4. There are areas of landscaping with plastic underneath that should be removed to lower the <br />hardcover calculations in the 75-250' setback area. Applicant has already removed a large <br />section of hardcover on the south side between the deck and property line. (See survey). <br />5.
