Since the Planning Commission meeting, applicant is concerned with the potential impact of the construction upon neighbor's tree to the immediate west She proposes reducing the depth of the garage from 24' to 22' and expanding the width to 26' Council is asked to consider a 22' x 26' garage as shown on staffs amended sketch, Exhibit I There is no change in the hardcover or structural coverage facts as noted above and as approved by the Planning Commission The Building Inspector has reviewed the 1' setback of the garage at the west property line and £^plicant plans to locate detached garage 2' from same lot line. He notes no problem or need for special fire wall construction Review Exhibits O and P, note garages on both sides are locat^ as close as 1' from both side lot lines of applicant's property. The neighbor to the west has doors facing away from street and the neighbor to the east with a garage located approximately 3+' from the street lot line has doors opening out onto Casco Point Road The actual traveled road of Casco Point is 3-4' beyond the north street lot line of applicant's property. The proposed garage with doors facing out onto Casco Point Road would be approximately 21-22' from the traveled road The garage has been located on the property in order to save mature trees to the south and east of garage structure Applicant has eliminated the exterior access stair on the east side of the garage. Access to the upper level will be via an interior staircase. This resulted in a hardcover reduction of 34 05 s f or 0 4% The second phase of the improvement project involves a two level deck at the southwest comer of the residence at 7' x lO'/j', refer to Exhibit 1 The structure will not require a side setback variance nor will the access stair and deck structure be located in front of the average lakeshore setback line. Applicant had originally proposed an extensive grade level patio resulting in excesses of hardcover within the 75-250' setback area proposed at 32.8%. Applicant agreed to remove the grade level patio and access stair structure at east side of garage resulting in a reduction of 353.5 s.f or 4.3% of proposed hardcover. The Planning Commission was asked to review the structural improvements within the 0-75' setback area. The boathouse structure is in excellent condition requiring no structural improvements The boathouse is an integral part of the access stair to the lake. The access stair is also in excellent condition. There is an old pump house at an approximate 4' height. Both the pump house and boathouse provide structural support of the steep sloped eroding lakeshore bank There are signs of severe erosion throughout the entire lakeshore bank. The City is recommending that applicant consult with a landscape contractor to determine the best type of plantings to restore groundcover. If the bank is to remain stabilized, it was recommended that both the boathouse and pump house structure remain until future improvements are proposed by applicant. The applicant was not asked to consider hardcover removals within the 0-75' setback area.
