Zoning File #1626 October 16, 1991 Page 2 4. In this plan, the house has been reoriented at an angle irore consistent with the Mitchell residence to the west, with the garage angled to parallel the east lot line. The expanded site plan submitted suggests the spatial relationships between the houses in question. 5, A grade level patio is proposed to be located at the southeast corner of the house, and at grade level is not considered an encroachment on the side setback. Discussion The applicants have advised staff that they have discussed this proposal in some detail with both neighboring property owners, and the neighbors do not object to this revision. There is no encroachment of the average setback line as defined in Resolution No. 2960. ^ The applicants propose no hardcover in the 0-75' zone, and have designed the walkways, patios, driveway and house/garage to meet the 25% hardcover limitation. Lot coverage by structures is held to approximately 8% of lot area. In general, the new proposal does not exceed the square footage of encroachment allowed by Council with their original Traff approval. The layout of that encroaching square footage has been changed from a massed two-story encroachment to a more linear one-story encroachment. The Planning Commission perhaps should consider whether the apparent 3'x40' encroachment of the one-story garage is more or less intense than the two—story portion of house that encroached with Traff's original proposal. The applicants are aware that Planning Commission's recommendation on the Traff proposal was a vote of 3 to 1 in favor of approving the lot width and variances and denying the side setback variance. The Council determined that Planning Commision review of the revised proposal is appropriate, and suggested that the Planning Commission recommendation be brought forward immediately to the October 28th Council meeting for final action.
