Applicant's reguest for additional hardcover above the 32.4� <br /> level is based upon applicant's anticipated and experienced <br /> problems in safely accessing the property over the steep driveway <br /> area. <br /> 5. The Council finds that applicant's proposed alternative #2, <br /> with removals of 692 s.f. of existing hardcover in the 75-250' <br /> and 250-500' zones and resulting in a final 75-250' hardcover of <br /> 3573 s.f. or 34.0�, maintains a safe and functional driveway area <br /> while removing the extraneous hardcover on the property. <br /> 6. Approval of 34.0� hardcover in the 75-250' lakeshore setback <br /> � zone is not inconsistent with contemporary City approvals on <br /> similarly situated properties. <br /> , 7.
