Cafeeiian Residence Page 2 three garage stalls attached to the residence. The parking court is set back 40 feet from the front lot line and is screened by 4 foot tall brick screen walls and vegetation. The pergola over the garage entries is set back 88 feet from the from the front lot line. On the west side of the lot, the pergola wraps around the house abutting the 10 foot side lot setback line. This side of the house is heavily screened by existing vegetation on the neighbor's property. This will be supplemented by additional vegetative screening of various heights ranging from 4 feet to 12 feet tall. On the east side, a brick and concrete stair will be constructed to provide an outside access from the parking court to the walkout level. Where walls are required for the stairs, they have been held back 10 feet or more from the side lot line. This feature will be heavily screened with an evergreen hedge. On the north or lake side, the house does not intrude into the 75 foot shoreline setback. At its closest point, the house is 85 feet from the high water line, measured perpendicular from the northern -most wall. A brick and concrete paved patio extends out from the facade of the building toward the lake. A strip of this patio an average of 8 feet wide is within the 75 foot setback. The patio area will be used for outdoor entertaining and foot traffic and patio furniture will prevent the maintenance of vegetative surface In this area. An area of mowed lawn grass will be established and maintained from the patio to the line of existing trees which line the shore. The lakeshore area will be planted with native grasses which will not be mowed. The mowed area will be separated from the native grasses by a strip of perennial flowers which are also naturally associated with lakeshore environments. Statuary. The gardens around the house, including those in the lakeshore area, will display the owner's collection of original, fine art statuary. The statuary is generally classical in style. Grading and drainage. Existing drainage swales generally follow the east and west property lines to the lake. The flow lines of these swales will be maintained at their existing elevations. The paved and vegetated surfaces of the site will be sloped to drain to these swales. The roof drainage will also be directed to the side swales. The patio and lawn areas on the north side will be sheet drained to the lake. The area that will be disturbed by grading is generally defined by the perimeter of the paved surfaces and building footprint shown on the site plan plus about 10 feet. The exception to this will be an area of terraced fill along the lakeward edge of the patio averaging 1.5 feet deep. This fill is required to provide a smooth transition from the floor elevation of the house, and its associated patio, to existing grades without the use of walls or steep erodible slopes. This fill will be feathered into the existing grade approximately 18 feet horizontally into the 75 foot shoreland setback area. During construction, exposed earth areas will be graded to allow eroded soil to settle out from runoff waters. A silt fence will be constructed and maintained, throughout the construction period, to intercept and remove transported soil particles from the runoff water coming off exposed soil areas. Grading and site construction will be prosecuted in a timely manner to minimize the length of time soil surfaces are exposed to runoff waters. Vogotatioa removal. The existing grass surfaces will be removed as needed to permit the placement of the building, paved surfaces, and proposed planting indicated on the Continued next page.
