#920 Fegers Page 2 June 6, 1985 the water elevation were at 929.4 right now, it might still be very 4-.Axing to define the contour. Since the surveyor has stated that 929.4 could be as much as 15' further out than the edge of the low ground, staff feels it is acceptable to measure from 15' past the low ground in this specific case. Note that the wetlands maps show this as marsh area. (I have based my hardcover calculations on the setback measured 15' past the low ground.) Please review Exhibit D. Applicant has stated he is willing to remove certain items of hardcover to !yelp compensate for the proposed additional hardcover. In the 0-75' zone, hardcover will increase from 125 s.f. (3.2%) to 194 s.f. (5.0%). In the 75-250' zone, hardcover wi 11 increase f rom 1, 319 s . f . ( 5 3.8 %) to 1, 391 s . f . (56.8 %) . Note also that this application requires a variance to the code sections which prohibit structures in the 0-75' setback zone, and also to the average setback with the neighboring structures. The neighboring property owners have been notified of the public hearing, but have not commented on the project. Note that the structure co the west does not appear habitable, and that the proposal will not affect views of the lake from either structure. In summary, the following variances are requested: A. Hardcover 0-75' - increase from 3.2% to 5.0% 75-250' - increase from 53.8% to 56.8% B. Lakeshore Setback - proposed 631; 12' variance C. Average Setback - approximately 8' variance One of the options you have is allowing the squaring off of the house without the screen porch or deck. I think this is completely justifiable. The proposed tradeoffu in hardcover decrease the impact of the added deck hardcover. I also feel that this is not a realistic site to consider the "deck ground treatment for non -hardcover", since the decks for the most part will be 3' or more above ground. Note that the proposed deck along the west wall is 3' wide, leaving about a 4' setback for the deck. The non -encroachment section of the code allows an uncovered deck at ground f loor level to extend to within 1' of a side lot line. The section does not discuss whether railings are an encroachment? -ailings will certainly be required in this case. Planning Com• on reviewed this application at their May 20, 1985, meeting and nmended approval finding that. the garage is dangerous as -is and tne. removal of the shed will reduce the impact of the additional deck hardcover. Planning Commission suggested the following conditions be placed in the resolution: 1. Hardcover is limited in the 0-75' setback ;,one to `_>.0% and in the 75-250' setback zone to 56.8%, with lakeshore setback as 63' or a variance of 12'. 2. Applicant mutt runc;vtu shed and walkway to make t radeof f s in hardcover.
