The application is a proposal to <br />construct a deck. The existing footprint and building pad were noted. A kitchen addition <br />was buih in 1988. While a permit was issued for the addition, it did not meet the 35' <br />setback as it is 30* from the Lydiard Avenue property line. An existing patio door will <br />lead to the proposed deck. The request will result in a reduction to the side yard setback <br />adjacent to the street where there is a topographical change. The 50' Lydiard right-of-way <br />is not developed to that width. Van Zomeren said there should be no negative impact <br />from the deck on adjacent property’s views. <br />Rice said the northwest comer of the residence is the natural area for the deck placement <br />due to the kitchen location. The deck will also enable the applicant to view the lake from <br />the vantage point. <br />During public comments, Janice Berg, who lives by the applicant, said she had no problem <br />with the deck reauest.
