D) The 2nd-story room over the garage is reasonable considering the small size of the lot, and is preferable to a horizontal expansion of the house which would create additional hardcover. E) The applicant has revised the entryway proposal to meet the wel 1 setback requirements. F) For safety purposes it is reasonable to allow the applicant to keep the entire existing paved parking apron in order to • provide a backup area to avoid backing out into the street. G) No other land is available for applicant to purchase in order to make his property more conforming. H) There is existing hardcover in the 0-75' and 75-250'� setback zones which can be removed to partially offset the proposed additional hardcover. 4. The existing 1-car garage is inadequately sized for applicants reasonable use of the property. 5. The second story room over the garage is necessary to provide a useful second bedroom since the house currently' contains only one . useful bedroom, which is a hardship to the applicant's reasonable use of the property, because it does not allow for additional family members or. temporary guests. 6. The existing basement rooms are not useful as bedrooms because the existing.windows do not meet fire egress height standards. In orcler to change these windows it would require structural changes to the basement walls and a change in grades on the lakeshore side of the residence. 7. The applicants request w� i1 result in a residence that is approximately 200 s.f. smaller in area and has less hardcover than the • neighboring property to the north. Page 2 of 6
