PC Memo & Exhibits 09/14/11 Exhibit E. PC Action Notice 09/20/11 Exhibit F. Draft PC Minutes 09/19/11 Application Summary: The applicants propose to construct a new home and detached garage on the subject property. The application consists of lot width and lot area variances, a hardcover variance within the 75' to 250' zone to allow 32.9% hardcover and a rear, street setback variance to allow a 15-foot setback for the proposed detached garage. A 30-foot setback is normally required in instances where the doors face away from the street. A lake access stair/walk is proposed to remain which accounts for 82 square feet within the 0 to 75' zone. Initially the applicants provided two options for the detached garage; one option which met the required 30 foot setback and another option reflecting the garage at 15 feet. The planning commission reviewed the site topography, the applicants' request and recommended approval of lot area, lot width and hardcover variances, and a garage setback variance to allow 15 foot setback due to the topographic challenges. The planning commission recommended leaving a portion of the existing driveway on the north side to function as a necessary turn around. The applicant has opted to leave this portion of the driveway resulting in a 30+foot wide curb cut. Planning Commission Recommendation On September 19, 2011, the Planning Commission voted 6 to 0 recommend approval of lot width, lot area, 75' to 250' zone hardcover variance and a rear, street setback of 15 feet for a new home and detached garage. The applicants were directed to revise the survey and the hardcover calculations to reflect the driveway turn around. Planning Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the variances for lot width, lot area, rear, street setback of 15 feet, and the 75' to 250' zone hardcover variance to allow 32.9% hardcover. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED The Council should consider adopting or amending the draft approval resolution.
