The proposed Garage Plan locates a set of stairs within the proposed building <br />envelope m order to eliminate hazardous conditions for the Owner and the public during <br />4. ^B^a^ offhe desirability to have the above stairs enclosed and still have a functional <br />doiJole garage, the stair enclosure adds to the footprint of the garage the therefore the <br />5. the steeply sloped lot. the limited amount of available roadside area, <br />and the need to have the garage floor elevation nearly the same as Co. <br />Garage floor e'evation is located above the roof eave of the existing house therefore <br />requiring a substantially deep masonry foundation in order to avoid excessive ground <br />pressure on the existing foundation wall. The above conditions requ/re the new <br />^undatlon to be built along side of the existing foundation and at the same depth below <br />grade. The condition of joir^ing the two structures requires a unique structual. functional <br />6. Because of the excessive elevation uifference between the existing house and the lake <br />shore a stair system is required to safely access the lake. This requirement would not <br />exist on a ieveler lot and the stairs would not add to the hardcover calculation.

The existing deck system which water freely passes through contributes to an exc )SSive <br />amount of the calculated hardcover allowance of 25% m proportion to the house. <br />Deck Area - 23.1 % of Allowable Hardcover <br />House Area -36% of Allowable '.-'ardcover ^ ____ <br />Note: Ground under existir)g decx system is highly permeable and should be discounted <br />somewhat when calcuiotin.^ the true impermeable hardcover area , <br />8. The vast majority of existing and proposed hardover lies from 160' - 255 from the lake not <br />In the 75 ‘‘ 150' area yet the same 25% allowance applies.
