? .• To;Chairman Kelley and Planning Commission Members Ron Moorse, City Administrator From: Date: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator October 14, 1991 Subject #1682 Christine Brickley, 3262 North Shore Drive Variance - Continuation of Public Hearing List of Exhibits A B C D Revised Garage Plan Submitted Staff Sketch, Revised Site Plan Notice of Planning Commission Action 9/16/91 Memo and Exhibits of 10/6/91 Discussion Applicants have revised their garage p-oposal, reducing the size from 1056 s.f. to 768 s.f. (24* x 32'). The revised garage of 768 s.f. requires 15' setbacks from the west and south lot lines. Applicants propose to make use of the recently poured slab, hence the new proposal leaves a 10.5' setback to the south lot line and 3.3' to the west lot line. At your September mi?eting, applicant indicated that the garage and slab would not increase hardcover above the pre existing levels, because the previous garage and shed were positioned near the west lot line with gravelled parking area in front, hence the area covered by slab was already totally hardcovered. We have no photos or pre-existing survey to verify this, however, in this case hardcover in the 75-250' zone would remain at 50.6% with the current plan. Applicants propose to use the southerly 8' of the slab for boat and truck storage. Issues to Consider 1.Is there sufficient haruship or justification to grant a 4.5' south lot line setback variance and 11.7' side setback variance to allow the proposed garage? 2.Under the current proposal, lot coverage will stay at the pre-existing level of 17.5%. The 768 s.f. garage contains the equivalent enclosed space of the pre-existing shed, garage, and storage barn. Is there sufficient hardship or justification to grant a variance for 17.5% lot coverage? 3.If hardcover stays at its claimed pre-existing level of 50.6% in the 75-250' zone, is there hardcover in the 0-75' zone that could be removed to compensate? 1
