t. <br />#876 Randy Asplund <br />Page 3 <br />June 14, 1985 <br />3444 Eastlake Street <br />Applicant has been ordered to remove the concrete patio by the end of <br />July, allowing time to resolve the patio issue. Applicant wishes to <br />install, in the same location as the existing concrete patio, a <br />floating deck. His proposal is to create a movable deck platform <br />which would sit directly on the surface with no footings, which would be <br />permeable, and which could, if necessary, be underlain by a sand bed so <br />that all water falling on the deck would be absorbed under the deck. <br />Staff would request your recommendation on these questions: <br />1. Would this type of deck be considered as a structure? <br />2.Would the fact that this is to be located in the 0-75’ <br />setback be a problem, in that it has the appearance of <br />structure and could be underlain with something <br />impermeable with little trouble? <br />Remember that the recent cases where the council has allowed decks as <br />non-hardcover have been such that: <br />A. The deck is attached to the house? <br />D. The deck is a permanent structure which can't be <br />readily moved; <br />C. The decks approved were within a foot of the surface and <br />enclosed with side panels so that no plastic can be <br />easily placed under them in the future; and <br />D.In only one case has a deck such as this been allowed to <br />encroach on the 0-75' setback and this was for an <br />existing house, not new construction. The Council has <br />stated that they would need to see a hardship to allow a <br />detached deck such as that proposed. <br />Staff would recommend that a flat, low level permanent attached deck be <br />constructed that will minimize the encroachment into the 75' zone and <br />which will meet the non-hardcover deck standards which have been <br />approved in previous applications. Note that no hardcover <br />calculations have been submitted for this property, but a cursory <br />review indicates it is around the 25 percent limit. <br />1
