Kempf stated the amount of haxdcover would remain the same <br /> but portions of the hardcover would be constructed out of pervious material. <br /> Stichney indicated he does have some experience with pervious pavers and that the pervious material <br /> should be installed on level ground. Stichney suggested that the court yard area between the garages be <br /> constructed with pervious pavers since that is a flatter,open area. <br /> Curtis requested engineering specifications be provided to the City on the pervious pavers. <br /> Paddock stated he would not be opposed to utilizing pervious pavers in the court yard area. <br /> Stichney noted the pervious pavers need to be brushed or swept regularly to keep leaves off of it,and <br /> that if the decks were constructed with the pervious pavers,it would require the removal of the deck <br /> furniture and other items,which would not be nece'ssary with the court yard area. . <br /> .

The property is located on a peninsula of land,with almost the entire lot. <br /> being located within the 75 foot setback. Additions were constructed to the home in 1991. <br /> The applicant is requesting variances to allow lakeward and upward structural expansions of the existing <br /> home. Since over 99 percent of the property is located within the 75 foot setback area,the property <br /> cannot be built on without variances. The e�sting home is approximately 25 feet wide and 75 feet long. <br /> The expansions being proposed will almost double the width and add nearly 15 feet in length. The � <br /> project also would bring the structure closer to the lake on all sides. <br /> ' PAGE 8 <br />
