The deck at the lakeside <br />of the house, which will now be enclosed, was permittt!a <br />in 1979. <br />e) Because of the angle of the house with the side lot <br />line, the southerly addition will encroach and <br />additional 0.3 feet on the side lot line for a setback of <br />5.7 feet where a 6 foot setback now exists. <br />f ) Enclosure of the deck at the lakeside causes an <br />encroachment of 5 feet into the average lakeshore <br />setback, but poses an insignificant reduction in <br />neighboring views. <br />4.
