It exceeds the allowed hardcover by 1,537 square feet. <br /> � . Average Lakeshore Setback " <br /> . ..:>The small swimming pool would be located entirely,forward of the average lake shore <br /> � � setback. The building,elevations show a pergola. The extent of the pergola is not shown on <br /> � the survey.

Since the subdivision plat shows a right of way, Staff asked the surveyor to <br /> research this and show its location. The correction reduced the amount of property within the <br /> S 75 to 250 foot zone and increased the percentage of hardcover.

The topography dictates the location of the house. <br /> If it were any closer to the street either the driveway would be too steep or the main level of <br /> the house would be located below grade on the west side of the lot. Staff would suggest that <br /> variances to compensate for these hardships would be in order. Specifically, for the retaining <br /> wa.11s that manage the grades around the driveway and front eniry and for the additional <br />
