The applicant again appeared before the Planning Commission at the August 16. 2004 meeting <br />requesting 30% hardcover within the 75 ’-250 ’ zone (a reduction of 370 s.f. from the original plan). <br />The applicant explained to the Commission that he had tried a number of different site plans <br />including a detached garage and moving the house closer to the road, however could not reach the <br />25% hardcover allowed, at least not with a plan that would meet his needs. The Planning <br />Commission denied the 30% hardcover request and tabled the CUP for land alterations within 75* of <br />the lake to allow the City Engineer to conduct a site visit. <br />The applicant now requests Council review of the original 33% hardcover site plan. The applicant <br />has decided that the 30% hardcover site plan does not fit his needs and he must therefore again <br />request a hardcover variance for 33% hardcover in the 75'-250* zone when 25% is allowed and 49% <br />currently exists. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Deny the hardcover request as the lot is conforming in size and should be held to the 25% hardcover <br />limitation. Also, denial of the conditional use permit request as the City Engineer has indicated no <br />need for grading within 75 ’ of the lake. <br />COUNCIL AC'TION REQUESTED <br />Several options exist for which action may be taken; <br />1.Table the application to allow the applicant to work towards reducing hardcover. Staff <br />would suggest that the applicant be given a target amount as numerous plans have already <br />been considered and rejected by the Planning Commission. This action would al.so table <br />the CUP request. Refer any revised proposal back to the Planning Commission. <br />2. Direct staff to draft a denial resolution of the hardcover variance ar ' CUP request, or <br />3.Direct staff to draft an approval resolution for the requested 33% hardcover within the <br />75 ’-250* zone and denial of the CUP request, or <br />4.Direct staff to draft an approval resolution for the rcque.stcd 33% hardcover within the <br />75 ’-250* zone as well as approval of the CUP request to grade within 75 ’ of the lake. <br />This approved grading would consist of the grading shown on attachment D of Exhibit D <br />(proposed site plan in PC Report dated 6-17-04) upon which Planning Commission has <br />not yet made a recommendation.
