Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator August 14, 1990 Subject: #1581 Robert Koehnen, 537 Hanlon Avenue - Variance - Public Hearing Zoning District - RR-IB, Single family rural residential, 2 acre, unsewered Application - Request for front setback variance to construct attached deck and gazebo. List of Exhibits Exhibit A Exhibit B Exhibit C Exhibit D Exhibit E Exhibit F Exhibit G Application Plat Map Property Owners List Survey Plan View Front Elevation View Lot Coverage Calculation Pertinent Facts - 1.Applicant proposes to construct a deck and gazebo on the south side of his house. The existing house is 22.1’ from the street lot line, where a 50' front setback is normally required. The proposed deck will be constructed at the main floor level of the house, which, due to topography, becomes an upper level deck as it gets further from the house. Because the deck needs railings for its entire length and width, it is subject to the setback requirements. 2.Existing house setback to street = 22.1' Proposed deck to street setback = 17' Proposed gazebo to street setback = 33' 3.Including the house, two garages, and the gazebo and deck portions with railings exceeding 6' above grade, proposed lot coverage is 15.35%, about 70 square feet over the 15% lot coverage limitation. Discussion - The applicants have made a number of improvements to this property over the last 5 years, including construction of a detached storage garage and addition to the existing residence. The current proposal is to construct a deck at the south end of the house with a free standing gazebo locat^'d on top of the deck. \
