A balcony off of the Suite <br />bathroom is completely beneath both the existing and proposed roof overhang. <br />The existing area of the Primary suite #2 contained structurally unstable and <br />deteriorating stairs from the upper level to grade; and this condition is removed. By <br />removing it, the head clearance from the garage’s back door to the north shore is made <br />safe. The existing stair is as low as 5.5’. The proposed condition in this area includes <br />replacing the dilapidated timber retaining wall (designed to accompany the stairs) with 30” x <br />40” limestone blocks. The proposed limestone increases the lineal distance (of the timber <br />walls) by three feet; and the extra square footage will provide robust and lasting divergent <br />for stormwater and earth management, protruding northbound past much of the deck face <br />to accommodate the eastern ridge’s flow of rain water and snow melt towards the existing <br />home and proposed deck. <br />Rain and snowmelt have been a hindrance on the existing home due to the existing <br />rooflines that are not adequate for keeping rain, ice dams, snowmelt from the face of the <br />home and foundation – particularly in a north-facing (and south-facing) shoreline condition. <br /> <br />148
