Chair Kelley asked if the house to the north was currently occupied, and if not, would the applicants consider removing the house in trade for the deck. Rivers did not think that was feasible.

Mabusth explained that the applicant was granted a variance for the 1976 addition to the lakeside of his home, and the permit and building plans specifically stated that only steps for access would be allowed as additional hardcover.
