If <br />decks or sidewalks are added it v/ill be easy to reach the 25% <br />limit for Parcel B, and Parcel A would still have 39%. Perhaps <br />the Planning Commission would give Mr. Eiss some direction in <br />this regard." <br />Rowlette asked Gaffron if he would e.xpand on his comments <br />pertaining to the extension of Concordia Street. <br />Gaffron replied, "The Public V/orks Director feels there is <br />merit in considering the continuation of Concordia Street. There <br />is only one access to serve approximately 60 houses. Should that <br />access become blocked for any reason, it could create major <br />safety problems. A second access should be provided." <br />Kelley agreed that Concordia Street is an issue, but <br />believed that the hardcover situation prevailed. He said, "I <br />would not be in favor of the proposed hardcover Variance in the <br />75-250' zones. Mr. Eiss's house was constructed only two years <br />ago. I believe he should be aware of the hardcover requirements. <br />As I recall, drainage was an issue for this property." <br />Cohen and Rov/lette concurred with Kelley. <br />Hanson said, "If <br />zone on Parcel A to <br />favorable." <br />you could reduce hardcover in the 75-250* <br />25%.

He suggested to Mr. Eiss that he <br />try to revise his plan in such a way that hardcover within the <br />75-250' zone on Parcel A will not exceed 25%. He said, "I <br />consistently deny Variances for new subdivisions." <br />Mabusth asked whether Mr. Eiss should show a connecting road <br />to North Shore Drive. <br />Hanson stated that he would like to see an outlot proposed <br />for that purpose. <br />Mabusth noted that the connecting road would not necessarily <br />be developed until a later time. <br />- 11 -
