No second story encroachment on the side with the substandard setback. <br /> 2. Total peak height revised so that it is not much higher than the existing home's peak height on '. <br /> the lake side. <br /> The applicants were also directed to explore mitigation of any negative wetland impacts as a result of <br /> drainage from the properiy. <br /> The following variances are requested in order to construct extensive additions to the existing home: <br /> 1. A lake setback of 413 feet for the house and 29 feet for the deck where 75 feet is normally <br /> required; <br /> 2. A side setback variance to allow a five-foot side yard setback where 10 feet setback is normally ' <br /> required and 5 feet currently exists; <br /> 3. Hardcover variances to allow 17 percent hardcover within the 0-75 foot zone where 0 percent is <br /> normally allowed, and to allow 32.1 percent within the 75-250 foot zone where 25 percent is <br /> normally allowed and 27.3 percent currently exists; <br /> 4. A height variance is required as the lowest level is by definition the first story and the additions <br /> make this a three-story house where only 2 'h stories are allowed. <br /> While Planning Staff recommends approval of some level of hardcover variances in conjunction with <br /> this project,the levels requested may still not be reasonable. The applicants have a large deck in the <br /> main 0-75 foot area that may be reduced slightly to lessen the proposed overall hardcover levels. <br /> Planning Commission should discuss the additional requirement of the lake setback on the easterri <br /> portion of the lot and whether or not the hardcover as requested is reasonable. <br /> PAGE 7 <br />
