Background The applicant recently purchased the subject property and wishes to make some structural additions to better accommodate vehicle parking and storage. The applicant has stated that the existing garage is undersized and will not accommodate larger vehicles. The home is situated at the 75-foot lakeshore setback. A small portion of the southwest (lake) side of the home currently encroaches into the 75-foot setback; the retaining walls at the entry and the northeast corner of the home currently encroach into the required 30-foot side setback. The applicant's home is situated entirely ahead of the average lakeshore setback line. The proposed 12' x 34' one story addition will serve as an extension of the existing garage space for vehicle parking and storage and is also shown to have a rooftop patio area above. The total height of the home from grade to the top of the flat roof is 32.5 feet. The addition is proposed to be 13.5 feet tall, including the railing. The addition is proposed to be constructed over existing driveway hardcover resulting in only 36 square feet of additional hardcover or 11.8% total for the site where 25% is allowed. A portion of the addition hardcover is within 75 feet of the OHWL. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LOT ANALYSIS WORSHEET Lot Area/Width: LR-1A Lot Area Lot Width Required 87,120 s.f.
