Applicant seeks an 11'8" front setback variance in order to demolish the existing residence and build a new two-story residence.
Mike Phinney, Phinney
Design Group, appeared on behalf of the Applicant. He reviewed the application with the Board
stating the Applicant would like to remove the existing house and build a new
house with a connecting two car garage and a deck on the lakeside. He went over the survey map, showed the Board
the issues with the land and stated that the LA Group is working with the
Applicant to shore up the erosion areas and stated that due to the steepness of
the slope they cannot move the house further back. He said they will be at 18.9% land coverage

existing house and driveway, as well as neighboring homes.

improving the property, they have more frontage than most at the lake and it is
in accordance with the neighboring properties.
