Lot Coverage - Exceeds Code Requirement. <br /> <br />The rcquirement for all rcsidcntial districts is a maximwn of25%.

Landscape Lot Area - Exceeds Code Requirement. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The requirement for all residential districts is a Minimum Landscape Lot Area of65%. <br />Constmetion of the addition to thc deck would leave approximately 71 % of the lot as <br />landscapc area. <br /> <br />Back2round <br /> <br />A survey by BRW from 1974, when the house was built, shows approximately 65 feet <br />between the rear of the home and Lake Johanna. A survey by E.G. Rud and Sons from <br />2003, reveals that the distance between the Lakc Johanna shoreline and the rear of the <br />home is now 57.8 feet. The applicant attemptcd to stabilize the shoreline in 1991 by <br />installing rip rap. <br /> <br />The applicant is proposing a 12-foot addition to the rear of the housc and csscntially <br />shifting the existing deck to the north. As proposcd the housc would be 45 feet from the <br />Ordinary High Water Mark (OHM), thc deck would also be 45 feet from the OHM and <br />the stairs leading to the deck would be 41 feet from the OHM. Included in the <br />infonnation that the applicant provided are two different sets of plans (Plan A, Plan B) <br />which show a slightly different layout. However, both plans appear to have the structure <br />and deck located no closer than 45 feet to the OHM and one has stairs to the deck that <br />would he no e10ser than 41 feet from the OHM. <br /> <br />The reason that thc applicant has requested the variance is that they are unablc to cxpand <br />. to eithcr side or to the front due to setback constraints.
