Zoning File #1465 October 10/ 1989 Page 4 of 4 Regarding the fence height variance request/ please review the proposed site plan for pillar locations and the fence detail. The fence would appear to be relatively open in character. In this location/ since West Ferndale Road is not considered a major thoroughfare nor is it a MSA funded road/ maximum allowable fence height without a variance would be 3.5'. Staff Reco—endation - Given the history of hardcover increases on this property, the current request would seem to be a significant increase with little in the way of hardship offered by the applicant in support of the request. Also, given the history of revisions just during the current remodeling over the last two years, a lack of good initial site planning seems apparent. Planning Commission should address the following specific issues in any recommendation for approval or denial of the variances requested: 1. Should the circular deck be allowed to be reconstructed, leaving a total of 2.9% hardcover in the 0-75* zone? 2. Should a fence height variance be granted to allow the « fence as proposed? 3. What degree of hardcover variance is appropriate for the driveway area? Should the circular driveway be allowed? If not/ would Planning Commission prefer the driveway layout as previously existed to be retained, including the back-up apron? 4. If the pre-existing driveway layout is retained, hardcover percentage will increase above the 36.8% approved in 1988. Per Exhibit H-e, hardcover excluding sidewalks could be as follows: House, deck (items A thru M) Less portion in 0-75' zone Pre-existing driveway (per Exh. H-b) 75-250' Net 5/461 s.f. 407 s.f. 1/004 s.f. 5/978 s.f. - 37.7% 5. How much additional hardcover would be allowed for sidewalks (410 s.f. or 2.6% is shown on Exhibit H-c}?
