Resolution No. 4512 Exhibit L. 1999 Survey- Partial Exhibit M. Property Owners List Exhibit N. Plat Map Background The subject property is situated within the 75-foot lake setback and ahead of the average lakeshore setback. The applicant is proposing to construct an addition over the existing open, roofed stoop and above an existing family room bump-out to accommodate a master bedroom and bath addition on the upper level lakeside of the home. Lake setback and average lake setback variances are required. The existing home is a 3-level home with a tuck-under garage; three sides of the home have more than 6-feet of exposure as it sits in the grade. The lowest level of the home, based on the existing first floor elevation and existing grades, results in the lowest level being defined as a story. The upper/3rd story of the home does not meet the half story definition as it exists. As a result, in order to expand the square footage of the non- conforming 3�d story as requested, a variance is required. The proposed expansions will not result in any new calculable structural coverage massing.
