Review Exhibits K. L and Q, 1978 survey, site plan and applicant's current sur\ey/site plan provide information on proposed improvements. The existing residence is shown 20’ in front of the average lakeshore setback line. On your inspection note the extension of the walkout with upper lev'el decks above walkout addition. Note in Exhibit Q the pointed principal structure addition e.xtends 24' in front of the average lakeshore setback line and the enclosed porch at the northwest comer will be 25’. The existing structure on Exhibit Q appears to be 15’ in front of the setback line and on the 1978 survey and site plan the existing structure is almost equal to the proposed structure. The issue only becomes of issue if applicants are advised to maintain new construction line at the existing encroachment line. Review Exhibit F, the neighbor to the immediate south is concerned with the proposed improvement plan. He notes that the structure will now be of a greater mass and will encroach further beyond the average lakeshore setback line than the existing structure. Note the existing stmeture is located closer to the north lot line and will now extend closer to the south lot line. The structure will meet all required side setbacks. There is an existing approximate 10’ x 10’ grade level wooden patio in front of the existing residence that has not been located on the current ' ..vev. Grade level patios are not subject to the average lakeshore setback code requirenK***.^ Hardcover excesses in the 75-250 ’ setback area result from some 900+ s.t. of landscape area underlain with plastic. Applicant’s architect feels that the improvement plan should reflect what will obviously take place on the property once the residence is constructed. Hardcover excesses in the 250-500’ setback area result from the driveway with tum'«round improvement plus additional hardcover with plastic underliner within a limited setback area (250-500’) of 3,414 s.f Upon visiting the site and reviewing the surv'ey showing existing improvements, staff would estimate that there are no excesses of hardcover that exist within the 75-250 ’ and 250-500’ setback areas.
