With approximately 21% overall hardcover, the Property will conform to the hardcover limitations of a Tier 1 lot. e. The proposed walls and stair within the 75-foot setback will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood and will result in minimal or no negative impact on adjacent properties. f. The installation of the retaining walls will help to support the slope and, combined with the geo-block installation and vegetation instatled on the path, should help to improve storm water quality and prevent further erosion from the site. g. The applicant has provided a landscape plan which will serve to stabilize the slope as well as screen views of the proposed walls from the lake. h. The Applicants' request is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance. Page 2 of 4
