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 must be accessed via an easement across the adjoining property owner. The adjoining lot also owned by Mr. Patten will be combined into the existing lot which will increase the overall lot size from 12,690 SF (0.29 acre) to a total of 33,321 SF (0.76 acre). This will provide frontage for the property and allow access to the property directly from Hall Road which would allow for the abandonment of the easement with the adjoining property owner. This combination of lots also allows for a compliant sewage disposal system to be installed on the property as well as the increase of the total acreage will mean that the new home will be compliant with the allowed floor area ratio. Landscaping along the shoreline and along Hall Road and the shared access drive that currently exists for the adjoining property owners 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.
