A lake setback of 41.3 feet(for the house) and 29 feet(for the deck)where 75 feet is normally • � <br /> required; , � <br /> 2.

The 0-75 foot zone and the 75-250 foot zone � <br /> have not been adjusted to reflect the additional lakeshore along the eastem/wetland lot line. <br /> 4. A height variance is required as the lowest level is by definition the first story and this is a three � <br /> story house where only 2 '/z stories are allowed. ' ' � <br /> The Planning Commission heard this application on March 19�'and at that tirne directed the applicants to <br /> revise their p1an. Their direction to the applicants was to reduce the overall height of the home; <br /> specifically within the 75 foot lake setback'area;remove the second story encroachment into the <br /> substandard side setback; and explore the wetland buffer possibilities. The Planning Commission voted <br /> 3-2 on April 16�'to recommend approval of the revised request. The iwo dissenting commissioners � <br /> wanted a further reduction in the massing. � � <br /> The applicants'proposed plan reflects technically a three-story home. While Staff continues to maintain <br /> that the home should meet the two and a half story maximum,the applicants did address the issues the <br /> Planning Commission outlined at the March meeting. <br /> In an effort to mairitain consistent hardcover accouniing, the applicants should be required to submit <br /> revised hardcover calculations prior to final Council review. The revised calculations should reflect the <br /> accurate 0-75 foot and 75-250 foot setback zones from the 929.4 foot OHWL elevation. <br /> PAGE 12 <br />
