Oorlog, 1058 Lorna Linda Avenue, for Iakeshore setback variance, average lakeshore setback variance and fiardcove** variances to permit the construction of an addition to the existing residence, subject to all plastic on the property being removed, and steps to the lake being relocated out of the 0-75’ setback area. Ayes 7, nays 0. (#3) #1831 EDWARD ENGLER, 3450 BIRCH LANE VARIANCE - PUBLIC HEARING 7:47 - 8:05 P.M. The Affidavit of PubIicatlon and Certificate of Mai Iing were noted. Mr. and Mrs. Engler were present. Mabusth explained the applicants propose a family room addition over an existing patio area, 16x20’, completely located in front of the average setback. She noted minimal impact on neighbors’ property by the encroachment into the average setback area. They propose the removal of plastic under the landscape patio area, reducing the hardcover in both the O-'^S’ and 75-250’ zones. Most of the excess hardcover in the 75-250’ zone is due to the bituminous area, which serves as a turn-around for Birch Lane and Is also used by the City to store snow. Nolan asked how they plan to address drainage. He expressed concern about trapping the drainage on tr^e rear of the property. The applicants’ builder stated they intend to solve drainage problems one of two ways by either allowing the drainage to flow In its natural pattern or by installing a retaining wall adajcent to the addition on the west side. Nolan felt it would be appropriate for the applicants to submit a drainage plan. Rowlette clarified that there will not be a walk around the house. Engler stated that was correct. Nolan asked if it would be appropriate to require an easement over the Dituminous area to ensure the City’s use in the future.
