Zoning File #1822 <br />May 11, 1993 <br />Pace 3 <br />Tlie lakeside deck received variance approvals in 1978. In early discussions with the applicant, <br />we reviewed all existing improvements to detennine 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 over the <br />railroad property tliat 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 arc located on high <br />bluffed areas with lakeshore yards 100’-f in length. <br />Although hardcover excesses exist within the 75-250’ setback area, structural coverage <br />of the lot does not exceed the allowed 15%. Excesses of hardcover within the 0-75’ setback <br />area result from the off street parking area adjacent to road. This type of parking area is <br />essential on a road like Crystal Bay Road where the traveled road is no wider than 14’ and the <br />steep drop to the lakeshore is within a few feet of the roadway. <br />Hardship Statement <br />Plea.se review Exhibit H. <br />Tssues for Consideration <br />1.

Should the addition be reduced in width to meet the required side setback and <br />extended further south in the rear yard <br />Any recommendation of approval must include the condition that all hardcover removals <br />must I'c completed prior to building inspector’s footing inspe tit>n for new addition. <br />Options of Action <br />Approval subject to conditions; or <br />Denial.
