The proposal is to add 6' and 4' to the side and entrance of <br />an existing 2.5 car garage replacing non - structural hardcover with structural hardcover. <br />Van Zomeren said stag had been unaware that the applicants had removed plastic under <br />landscaping and had not been given credit for doing so. A previous owner was to have <br />removed said plastic as a condition of a prior application which increased the property's <br />hardcover to 35.6 0/o, The current proposal is to increase hardcover of 34.95% to 35.1 %, <br />or 2936.5 s.f. <br />Schroeder noted that the plastic should not have been there in the firstt place and does not <br />satisfy reasoning for excess hardcover. <br />Lindquist asked if the applicants were aware of the restrictions regarding fixture hardcover <br />increase limitations on the property. The applicant said they have lived there four years <br />and were aware that the plastic should have been previously removed. They then removed <br />the plastic in order to submit this proposal in order to come with an application that <br />included the hardcover amount for variance granted in 1991. Mrs. Bielke said they <br />removed more hardcover than had been required. <br />1? <br />
