Project Narrative — Replacement of Seasonal Camp with Year Round Residence —
Patten Property Development — 96 Hall Road — Glen Lake
At the above referenced project location, the Owner, Chris Patten — Patten Property Development
would has removed the existing seasonal camp that was in a state of disrepair and is proposing to
replace it with a new building that can be utilized as a year round residence.
To that end we have designed a new single family residence with a finished basement that has been
cut into the existing grade, due to the low elevation of the lot the basement slab elevation has been
raised so that the finished area is above the flood level of Glen Lake which pushes the overall height
over the 28'-0" allowed when taken from existing lowest grade elevation. Grading around the building
will be done so that the final ridge line of the proposed structure remains below the 28'-0" maximum
allowed height. The garage would be attached to the residence on the main level with a finished
space above the garage. The overall height of the garage above existing grade at the rear of the
building as shown is below the 28'-0" allowed height. The 3rd garage bay on the lower level of the
residence will be utilized for the storage of the Owner's seaplane an ICON A5 — Light sport aircraft
which can be stored inside a normal garage bay. EZ Roll grass paver block (brochure included) will
be utilized to allow the aircraft to be moved from the water to the storage area. This ultimately
appears as though the entire area is grass not paved area and the make-up of the system is highly
permeable when compared to standard grass blocks.
The residence has been designed to be as low profile as possible to keep the overall height upon
completion to be below the 28' maximum height. The current lot is not accessible from Hall Road and
mut be accessed via an easement across the adjoining property owner. The proposed boundary line
adjustment and agreement with the adjoining property owner would allow the lot to be accessed from
Hall Road Directly which would allow for the abandonment of the easement with the adjoining
property owner. This boundary line adjustment also allows for a compliant sewage disposal system to
be installed on the property. Landscaping along the shoreline would be enhanced and upgraded as
indicated on the site plans. Storm water management would be provided where none currently exists
and the building will be moved back from the shoreline and will actually be further back from the lake
than either of the adjoining properties are currently. All lighting would be either recessed under
canopy or down cast cut-off fixtures.
Overall the proposed project will increase the aesthetic of the shoreline and will provide protections for
the lake quality that were not present with the previous residence on the property.
