(#5) #2264 JANET HIERNAN- CONTINUED Jabbour asked if the Council would be within their jurisdiction to amend the resolution. Barrett said this could occur as lon;as there were less variances required. � _ . Christy said the applicant proposes to rotate the structure clockwise 15 degrees and � � move it back behind the 75' setback line in its entirety including the terrace. This would • allow access to the garage�vithout jamminD the structure into it, minimize economical �� �vaste, eliminating further excavation, and minimize tree loss. The same variances would be required for side setback and 75-250'hardcover. Christy said the hardcover would increase in the 75-250' setback due to the amount that would have been in the 0- 75'would now be pushed into the 7�-250' setback. The other variance would be the �• same for average lakeshore setback. � � . � �Christy said he would like to see the permit amended, submit site plans, and redesign the � interior. If elevation is changing to meet the grade,there may need to be a slight design change making some of the cunent design of the old home awkward and could be eliminated. This could be accomplished without further increasing the bulk of the structure and resulting in less of the bulk encroaching the side setback. He speculated � that there would be no additional fees necessary for the ne�v construction. _ � Jabbour asked about time schedule. Christy said if the footings and concrete work could . be done within the next ttivo weeks,there would be no problem with continuing, Jabbour said he�vould like to reconsider the application w7th eliminating hardcover in . �� the 0-75' setback(excluding stairs), and allowing this amount of square foota?e to be in . the 75-250' setback, maintaining same side setback of 15' �vith no further encroachment, � and eliminating existing footings. Kelley noted that there is 3.9% of hardcover in the 0- 7�' setback and the 75-250' setback is c"urrently at 27.6%. Jabbour noted that the . . � calculations�vill have to be by square footage. Barrett said the recommendation by Jabbour would be satisfactory. , ' Gaffron indicated there�vould be no additional fees. The only change mi?ht be the � valuation for the buildin�permit.
