Planning Title: Planner Item Description: #17-3887, Revision LLC o/b/o Geoffrey & Stephanie Martha, 2092 Shadywood Road, Variance - Resolution Application Summary: The property contains a modest home and a small detached garage. The owners would like to construct improvements to make it more functional. A side setback variance is requested in order to allow a 1.3' principal structure setback where a 10' setback is required in order to connect the existing detached garage to the home. This connection would result in the detached garage becoming part of the principal structure. The existing home is conforming with respect to setbacks; the connection would make the principal structure nonconforming as the house would no longer meet the required 10' side setback. The applicants initially requested a hardcover variance to permit 27.5% hardcover where currently 25.6% exists, and 25% is permitted in order to construct additions to the home, and construct a new 24' x 24' detached garage on the property. After receiving the Planning Commission's denial recommendation, the applicants have revised the plans to eliminate the need for the hardcover variance. The proposed hardcover now conforms to 25%. Planning Commission Recommendation On January 17, 2017 the Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the application including the evidence submitted. Following the public hearing the Commission voted 3 to 0 in favor of a motion to deny the hardcover variance and approve the side setback variance. Commissioner Alternate Berg recused herself from the voting. Planning Staff Recommendation Based on the revised plans, Staff recommends approval. A draft approval resolution has been provided for Council's consideration. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Council should consider adopting or amending the approval resolution. List of Exhibits: Exhibit A.
