Project Description

Please describe your proposed project: 
I am proposing to add a 2nd level to my home.  The current structure is 30x72 and the 2nd level will be 64x30.  Overall height after 2nd level is 31 feet.  On the SE side of the home, there is an existing 5 ft wide walkway, that I would like to extend along the length of the house, an additional 19 ft.  On this same original walkway, I would like to allow for an entrance landing area and roof overhang to allow for adequate entry to the residence, the roof overhang will extend out 48" farther than current state.  An additional stairway would be added to this same  walkway.  There will be no change from the ground attached footprint on the home.  

I am also proposing adding a level above the 26x36 garage to allow for additional storage, as due to lot constraints I have no ability to additional storage garages.

Additional Info

Additional info:
(optional)		 
There are several reasons for hardship in this situation, including:  The lot is unique in that it is on a point and surrounded by wetland making any project within the shore land impact zone.  Other than the current building site, remainder of lot is in a flood zone.  Moisture issues in basement is not conducive for living space.

Reason for project:  The home was built in 70's and has had limited maintenance as it was a previous owners cabin property, as such a major overhaul is necessary.  Existing rooms in basement are not conducive to living due to moisture issues.  Basement is not significantly more than a crawl space and not conducive to living.  More storage space is required, however no ability to build a new footprint structure due to constraints of lot and proximity to wetlands.

We believe the proposed option is suited to use the property in a reasonable manner and the most non-invasive to the environment (no excavation/no structure moving farther into the impact zone than currently exists.

The practical difficulty is due to the unique nature of the lot being a point property, significant portions in a flood zone.

The need for variance is created by the unique nature of the lot.

The project will maintain the essential character of the property and neighborhood.  Two years ago a storm wiped out 10 trees on the north side of the house, trees have been replanted, and once grown limited visibility of the property from lake side.  The trees planted are very fast growing silver maple that will grow to 70' high and will limit any view of home from lake.  The remainder of lot around house to the point is covered with mature trees that again block significant view of house from lake.  These are mature trees and adding the 2nd level will not increase visibility from lake.

The practical difficulty of this situation is not an economic decision, its a matter of limitations of the unique nature of the lot.
