The bedrooms below the kitchen would also be <br /> increased by 10-feet and a dormer would be added to the second floor bedroom. In 1991,the former <br /> owners of the property applied for and were granted an average lakeshore setback to permit construction <br /> of a major addition and other work to the residence. The proposed addition lies behind the average <br /> lakeshore setback determined in 1991. <br /> Bottenberg stated the second part of the application is an addition to the detached garage. The <br /> Applicants are proposing to construct a 12-foot wide storage area to the existing detached garage. In <br /> PAGE 21 <br />
