The property owners originally had a steep hill <br />covered with grass that was dangerous to mow. Installation of the boulders <br />required removal of some soil and placing new soil elsewhere. The boulders <br />will serve to allow plant growth. Natural Environments Corporation Ha<; <br />reported they have used over 600 plants on the hillside. <br />The property owners also had a deck removed and new constructed. The new <br />deck is in the same location as the previous deck with a changed footprint. <br />The deck would require a variance from allowed hardcover in the 75-250' <br />lakeshore setback. Although the hardcover is being reduced from 42.5% to <br />39.8%. A portion of the deck encroaches into the average lakeshore setback, <br />but to be considered structure it must e.xceed 6' over grade level, which it <br />does not. <br />Some work did occur in the 250-500' setback that reduced total hardcover <br />from 31.8% to 29.7%. <br />^24/ 5 Kevin and rat Ke aieftck <br />3241 Casco Circle <br />Variances and Conditional Use Permit <br />9/21/98 <br />Page I
