Zoning File #1608 <br />September 9, 1991 <br />Page 2 <br />Applicant's lot coverage calculation suggests that the <br />intent is to keep the combination of retaining wall and <br />ornamental fence lower than the 6* height at which the enclosed <br />area would be considered as lot coverage. Under this proposal, <br />the sod areas outside the pool patios would not be considered in <br />lot coverage, yielding a final lot coverage of 13.1% under this <br />interpretation . <br />Note that the Building Inspector has determined that because <br />the patio is not continuous to the retaining wall, a fence above <br />the wall is not strictly required even though the top of the wall <br />is as much as 3 1/2' above grade. He wou^d, however, encourage <br />the use of plantings as a safety barrier. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Under the revised proposal, based on the conditions and <br />interpretations noted above, applicant requests the following: <br />A.Hardcover variance to allow 27.3% (27.8% with tower) in <br />75-250' zone. <br />B. Average setback variance of 25'. <br />C. No lot coverage variance necessary. <br />If Planning Commission feels the requested variances are <br />justified and supported by adequate hardships, then a <br />recommendation for approval would be in order. Options for <br />recommendation include: <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br />Recommend approval as revised. <br />Recommend partial approval, specifying limitations. <br />Send on to Council, or request further revisions be <br />brought back for review. <br />Denial. <br />Other. <br />Isv <br />indlMillill
