Gaffron stated if there is a portion of the house that does not <br /> allow the wind and rain back in,that is considered hardcover. <br /> Winkey inquired whether there is any hardcover that could be removed as a trade-off. <br /> Gundlach indicated there is currently a deck that is somewhat in the 0-75' zone. <br /> Jurgens inquired whether the gravel parking area would be removed. <br /> Gundlach stated they would be adding some driveway on the lot and that there is an existing gravel <br /> portion,which is proposed to stay. <br /> Olson inquired whether there was another material he could use for a driveway that would not be <br /> considered hardcover. <br /> Jurgens stated any material that is driven over,regardless if it is pavers or the ground, is considered <br /> hardcover. <br /> Gaffron stated the one option available to avoid increasing hardcover for the garage is to construct the <br /> new stall in front of the old garage on the driveway. <br /> Olson indicated there might be a problem getting the cars in and out of the garage since the driveway <br /> narrows in that area. <br /> Rahn noted the applicant is allowed to build structural coverage over hardcover and that it is a matter of <br /> what they can do without in an effort to keep the hardcover at a minimum. <br /> Olson inquired whether removal of the concrete on the non-lakeshore side would count. <br /> Rahn stated that would be considered hardcover. <br /> Jurgens commented the goal is to not exceed 25 percent hardcover within a certain zone and that <br /> hardcover is considered to be anything that is impervious.
