Portions of the existing patio are located within the 0-75 setback and shall be <br />removed. Some 72 s.f. of existing landscape area underlain with plastic shall be removed. The <br />entire addition shall be located in front of the average lakeshore setback line. The house to the <br />immediate west receives no impact because the existing re.-’idence is located in front of the <br />propo-sed addition. The house on the east side is shielded by year around arborvitae/everpeen <br />plantings providing a solid screening from adjacent residence sirucmres. The 16 x20 side <br />addition shall be 16’ from tlie east side lot line easily meeting the 10’ side setback. Applicant <br />has proposed removal of 701 s.f. of nonstructural hardcover and the addition of 635 s.f. of <br />strucmral hardcover. <br />There is an increase of 2.9% strucmral coverage on the property. The total coverage at <br />15.6% requires approval of a .06% variance. <br />The original structure was built prior to 1956. A building permu was issued for the <br />40’x24 ’ garage^in 1981. Based on 1981 reviews, the City did not require hardcover inventory <br />and structure's conformity was reaffirmed in a letter to an adjacent resident advising that the <br />detached struemre met all required zoning regulations. Review E.xhibit K. <br />Statement of Hardship <br />Applicant iu)tes the following hardship: need to expand the existing single story structure <br />for growing family. It is doubtful that a structure of that age could support a second story. <br />Applicant also notes that extensive driveway area in front of garage serves as a tumaroun or <br />City snow plows. .Members will remember limitations ot Birch I.ane from the Liljequist review <br />i
