Additionally, the applicants are requesting a side street setback variance to construct the proposed home 30* from the side street where a 50* setback is required. Planning Commission Recommendation On March 21,2005, Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the lot area, lot width, and side street setback variances. Discussion The applicants originally requested a 35* setback from the side street, but during the meeting the applicants discussed an additional 5* side street setback variance due to the sloping topography to the east of the lot. The Planning Commission agreed with the additional 5* variance however wanted to restrict the applicants to the extent of the footprint as proposed on .he site plan. The applicants were unaware of the restriction on the footprint size until they received the Planning Commission Action Notice after the meeting. At that time they met with staff to discuss options. At 20.7% their proposal is well under the hardcover limit and below the structural coverage limit with 10.5% lot coverage proposed.
