HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND DESIGN REVIEW BOARD ("HP-DRB") The HP-DRB takes preservation of the Lakeside Historic District seriously. Our goal is to protect the historic nature of Lakeside, while working alongside each applicant to achieve mutually satisfying results. Each property/application is looked at individually with extreme care taken when evaluating these applications. While trying to expedite the process as quickly as possible for the benefit of property owners, please realize that the board faces unique situations, due to the uniqueness of Lakeside itself. This may cause the process to take a little longer than expected. It may be wise to approach the board earlier than you think you may need to in order to avoid unexpected delays in your project. Please be aware that applications for new construction require a preliminary meeting with HP-DRB prior to the formal application process. The application process is laid out in detail to provide clear understanding of the process. As times have changed and new situations continue to arise, it has become necessary to fine-tune the process. Please find enclosed: 1. Chronology of Application Process 2. HP-DRB Deadlines and Meetings 3. A copy of MSC Right of Way regulation 4. MSC Right of Way and Deviation from Setback request forms 5. HP-DRB Project Detail Checklist 6.

(1) Plantings/Maintenance of the Right of Way LAKESIDE RIGHT OF WAY REGULATION 1-13(C) The Lakeside Right of Ways, paved and unpaved are owned by the Lakeside Association, and as such are not part of any leased property. The Association recognizes the unpaved portions as a valuable resource for both the beautification of our streets and the provision of significant storm water draining surface area, a scarce resource in much of Lakeside. To maintain this resource while allowing leaseholders to enjoy it, leaseholders are granted the privilege, and encouraged to maintain plantings (gardens, yards, etc.) on the unimproved Lakeside Right of Way between the property line of the lease and the street pavement. This excludes trees, unless they are approved by the Association. The leaseholder will be expected to maintain the space to the same standard required in Title I for the leased land. The Lakeside Association also reserves the right to plant trees in this Right of Way. Pre-approval of plantings by the leaseholder is not required; however, this privilege may be revoked if the plantings are found to be unacceptable by the Municipal Services Committee of the Lakeside Board of Directors. The granting of this privilege in no way alters the ownership or lease status of that Right of Way. (2) Improvements to the Right of Way The privilege of use granted in part 1 does not extend to the placement of any permanent structure on the Right of Way. This includes any hardscape (pavement, pavers, patios, decks, fencing, walls, and sidewalks). If hardscape is needed to facilitate access to the property from the pavement, demonstration of need and approval of plans will be required through the Municipal Services Committee of the Lakeside Association Board of Directors. If structures or hardscape are placed on Lakeside property without prior approval, the Lakeside Association may request them to be removed at the owner s expense. If improvements are approved by Lakeside and completed, it is with the understanding that those structures and improvement in no way alter the ownership or lease status of the Right of Way. (3) Existing Structures The Lakeside Association recognizes that structures and hardscape have been placed on Lakeside Right of Way by leaseholders in the past. Those structures existing prior to the adoption of this regulation would not be subject to the limitations and requirements set forth in part 2 of this regulation, with the exception of any properties that have already been identified by the Municipal Services Committee to have violated current regulations on encroachment of the Right of Way and are under consideration for enforcement. Lakeside reaffirms, however, that the tolerance of these structures and improvements in no way alters the ownership or lease status of the Right of Way. In addition, any change to or replacement of these structures would require approval as set forth in section 2. Adopted 8/20/2016
REQUEST FOR ENCROACHMENT ON LAKESIDE RIGHT OF WAY (ROW) Encroachment on Lakeside ROW, including any structure or hardscape, requires approval by the Municipal Services Committee (MSC) of the Board of Directors; per 1-13(C). Submit completed form to Lakeside Administration for approval by MSC. The approved form must then be included as part of the COA application packet to HP-DRB. This approved form is also required for projects limited to the ROW only.

When considering permanent improvements, note that Lakeside reserves the right to alter the use of the ROW at any time in the future, without compensation for encroaching structures. Date: Chairman, Municipal Services Committee, Lakeside Board of Directors Approved for use 11/2017
REQUEST FOR DEVIATION FROM SETBACK REQUIREMENTS Construction in Lakeside Chautauqua that deviates from existing setback requirements requires approval by the Municipal Services Committee of the Lakeside Association Board of Directors (Reg 3-18 (c) 1 g). This completed form should be submitted to seek committee approval. After this process is complete, the leaseholder will then need to appeal to the Board of Zoning appeals for final approval.
