In early discussions with the applicant, <br />we reviewed all existing improvements to determine what improvements were non-essential. <br />The wooden plank back walkway at 159 s.f. is essential for the rear yard because as applicant s <br />addendum notes it is a collection area for runoff from the higher elevations to the rear of the <br />property. Applicant ’s garage is entranced via a driveway that accesses from the east ov<rr the <br />railroad property that abuts property at the south side. <br />Based on the lakeside view windows of the adjacent residences, the replacement deck <br />improvement will have minimal impact on lakeshore views as properties are located on high <br />bluffed areas with lakeshore yards 100’ + in*length.
