All of that plastic in <br />the 0-75' zone is proposed to be removed. The other 0-75' <br />changes amount to replacing a portion of the removed brick <br />patio with wooden deck. <br />J^ipllcant's Statement of Bardship <br />Please read the notes on the submitted application form. <br />DlSCDSSiOO <br />It can certainly be argued that since this residence was <br />constructed under the current zoning code, there should be no <br />hardcover in the 0-75' zone, oth-r than the stairway system near <br />the shoreline to provide lake access. The poor condition of the <br />existing deck structures indicate they have been in place for <br />quite some time, certainly proceeding the current or immediate <br />past owners. <br />While the 0-75' hardcover is proposed to be reduced by half, <br />the net effect of the application is that the "constructed" <br />portion of 0-75' hardcover will increase from a 315 s.f. deck to <br />a 647 s.f. deck. The "existing/proposed" 0-75* hardcover is as <br />follows: <br />Existing (sf)Proposed (sf) <br />Stairs to Lake 160 160 <br />Stairs to Driveway 202 238 <br />Brick Patio 506 0 <br />Wood Deck 315 647 <br />Boulder Walls 110 110 <br />Driveway Portion 109 109 <br />Plastic-lined Beds 1347 0 <br />2749 s.f.i:.<4 s.f. <br />A <br />7 19,300 = 14.2%7 19,300 = 6.5% <br />In the 75-250' zone.additional decks and railing around <br />perimeter of the pool seem to be a prudent improvement for <br />safety's sake. The stairway proposed adjacent to the existing <br />pool and corner deck provides access to the lower level, but <br />encroaches into the 26' setback from the wetland as defined by <br />the 930* contour. There also will be an encroachment across the <br />platted drainage easement boundary, which is not concurrent with <br />the actual edge of the wetland. Technically City approval is <br />required for encroachment into the easement.
