The enclosed add'tion will extend 2’ beyond the <br />existing building envelope. <br />Seuss clarified the room addition is replacing a screened porch. <br />Mabusth reviewed the hardcover calculations, and noted lot coverage <br />is over by 1%. <br />Chair Schroeder asked if the new drive has been approved by the <br />City. <br />Seuss replied the proposed drive is ideal for both the City and the <br />owner as it provides a safe turn-arcund for the owner and a turn- <br />arouna for tne pubiic using the beach. <br />Peterson said he would think the applicant would like to be <br />screened from the public beach. <br />Elsen said he prefers the proposed plan. <br />Chair Schroeder asked if hardcover could be removea in any other <br />area, such as the storage shed near the lake or downsize the <br />garage. <br />Seuss said the reason the garage is oversized is because of the <br />entry into the house from the garage. He noted the applicant <br />purchased the home in 1988 and the storage shed was already there <br />at that time and is screened from the neighbors with existing <br />vegetation.
