Berg stated <br /> the patio in the back could be reduced or the size of the house reduced. <br /> Sharratt stated they are pernutted 7000 square feet structural coverage and they are proposing 4400 square <br /> feet of structural coverage. Sharratt stated the nature of a variance is to accommodate unusual lots and <br /> that in his opinion this is an unusual lot given the lagoon and the large impasse zone on two sides of the <br /> property. <br /> Zullo stated when a person purchases a piece of property,they need to be aware that there are limits on <br /> what can be placed on the property. <br /> Kang stated she is comfortable with the hardcover in the 75-250 foot zone remaining at the proposed <br /> level. <br /> Rice stated she would like the hardcover reduced. <br /> PAGE 8 <br />
