h TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Planning Commission Michael P. Gaffron, Assistant Zoning Administrator July 12, 1985 #942 Arthur Finkelstein, 1740 Shadywood Road Variance Zoning District - LR-IC Application - Hardcover variance to construct a garage addition List of Exhibits Exhibit A Exhibit B Exhioit C Exh’bit D Exhioit E Exhibit F Application Plat Map Property Owners List Site Plan Submitted for permit Staff Sketch Hardcover Calculations The applicant is requesting a hardcover variance to construct a garage addition in the 75-250' zone. Existing hardcover in this zone is 34.5% including the gravel and paved portions of the driveway. The garage addition will be in front of the existing garage, covering mostly area that is already hardcovered. A number of rock beds underlain by plastic have been removed by the applicant since he bought the property in June, 1984. He also plans on removing portions of the existing graveled area south of the garage as well as portions of sidewalk, for a net reduction in 75-250' hardcover of 86 square feet, reducing the percentage to 33.7%. Note that the above figures are based on a sketch by staff. No survey has been submitted, but will be required prior to this application being presented by Council. Also note that portions of the house are located in the 0-75' zone, as is an older boathouse, clearly a non-conforming struc ture. The deck which apparently was constructed by a previous owner and is also located entirely within the 75' setback zone may qualify as non-hardcover if no plastic underlies it and the spacings are correct (not verified yet). Staff would suggest that if a combination of items to be removed or made into non-hardcover results in a significant decrease in overall hardcover, the variance could be approved. It should be made clear to the applicant that a survey is required. 4
