Rcvbed Request and Planning Staff Recommendations Please review the Planning Commission memo and exhibits of 02*15-05. Staff concurs with the Planning Cv>inmission recommendations. However, since the Planning Commission meeting the applicants have been working with staff. The following are the applicants’ additional requests and staff comments: 1 The applicants have proposed to remove the shed from the Lupient lot and place on the slab next to the garage. The applicants would reduce the size of the slab next to the gaiage to accommodate the shed with a small apron. (At a later time, the applicants would like to replace the roof on the garage to match the house with attic trusses giving them more storage. At that time they would be willing to remove the shed and remaining slab.) Planning Comment: Stafffeels that the excess structure of the shed and the new hardcover associated with it is not justified by a hardship. Additionally, there isn V an appropriate or conforming spot for the shed to be relocated to - staff will not support this request, the slab and shed should be removed from the property. 2. The driveway is an issue for the applicants. Mr. Lupient uses that parking space for him and his guests when they use his property. It existed before the applicants owned the property and if it is removed, Mr. Lupient will drive through the yard and park on the applicants’ lawn. The applicants would like to request that it remain so that Mr. Lupient can continue to use it for parking his cars. Planning Comment: Staff recognizes the unique situation at the street side of the applicants 'property, as it is used by the public and the neighboring property owner and therefore staff will support the driveway parking area as it exists. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Direct staff to draft a Resolution reflecting Council’s action. yj'i »
