Because of the steeply sloped lot and the need to <br /> have the garage floor elevation at the same level <br /> of the adjacent County road, garage wall will be <br /> located above the roof eve of the existing house <br /> thereftre requiring a substantially deep masonry <br /> founda ion in order to avoid excessive ground <br /> pressu�e on the existing foundation wall. <br /> C. The excessive elevation difference between the <br /> existing house and the lakeshore requires a stair <br /> system to safely access the lake. The steeply <br /> sloped lot is a special condition that should be <br /> taken into account when considering hardcover. <br /> D. The vast majority of the existing and proposed <br /> hardcover lies 180-255' from the lake. <br /> E.
