At its closest point, the pool and its decking will be 115' from the shoreline. Applicant proposes to remove a portion of an existing concrete and wood patio as well as significant amounts of currently existing rockbeds underlain by fabric or plastic. He proposes a net decrease in hardcover in the 75-250' zone from 33.1% down to 32.6% (by staff calculation, including shared easement for comparison purposes). Discussion This property was the subject of a similar hardcover variance in 1988 to allow construction of additional garage space at the north end of the house. That project was approved subject to removal of 400 s.f. of rock and plastic.
