With approximately 21% overall hardcover, the Property will conform to the <br /> hardcover limitations of a Tier 1 lot. <br /> e. The proposed walls and stair within the 75-foot setback will not alter the <br /> essential character of the neighborhood and will result in minimal or no <br /> negative impact on adjacent properties. <br /> f. The installation of the retaining walfs will help to support the slope and, <br /> combined with the geo-block installation and vegetation installed on the path, <br /> should help to improve storm water quality and prevent further erosion from <br /> the site. <br /> g. The applicant has provided a landscape plan which will serve to stabilize the <br /> slope as well as screen views of the proposed walls from the lake. <br /> h.
