Briefly, the applicants are -equesting a hardcover and setback variance to construct a greenhouse addition :o the existing residence. The existing residence is partiall} within the 0-75' zone. Per Exhibit H, applicant indicates that, contrary to staf f's iaeasurement on the small scale survey, the proposed addition will be no closer to the lake than portions of the existing house. Hardcover in the 0-75' zone is proposed to increase from 5.7% to 7.6%. No hardcover removals are proposed. In conjunction with the greenhouse addition, ap.licant proposes to construct a 24"-30" retaining wall r.t the top if the bank adjacent to the house (see Exhibit H). Also, applicant proposes to construct a draintile between the hf.uRe and the lakeshore bank to transport surface run-off from the 0-75' zone to a wet well in the 75-250' lone, which would ultimately discharge over land in the 75-250' zone. The Planning Commission, at their October Ifth meeting, recommended approval of the hardcover and setback variances and conditional use permit for grading, on a vote of 5-2. In their minority opinion, Planning Commissioners Kelley and Cohen indicated that they felt thatt there was no hardship nor justification shown for the increase in hardcover and structure in the 0-75' zone. Ccmmen*s from the Planning Commissioners recommending approval indicated that the relatively low percentage of hardcover in the 0-75' zone coutled with the fairly insignificant visual impact from the lake, were positive aspects of the request, as was the intent to direct drainage a,ray from the shoreline.
