Planning Commission Recommendation <br />The Planning Commission has heard from this applicant on two occasions. Both i.’quests were for a <br />hardcover variance and a conditional use permit for land alterations within 75’ of the lake. At the <br />June 21“ meeting the applicant requested 33% hardcover within in the 75’-2oO ’ zone and a land <br />alteration CUP. The Planning Commission tabled both the hardcover and CUP request and directed <br />the applicant to reduce hardcover and work with staff and the City Engineer for the lake yard <br />restoration. <br />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 Plaiming <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 30% hardcover site plan for a variance in the 75’- <br />250 ’ zone when 25% is allowed and 49% currently exists. An existing survey, 30% hardcover plan, <br />and the 33% hardcover plan are attached for your reference as well as the past PC reports. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Deny the request and adopt the denial resolution attached as Exhibit A. The lot is conforming in <br />area and width and no valid hardship has been demonstrated to allow hardcover in excess of 25%. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Adopt the attached Resolution denying a hardcover variance for 3534 Ivy Place.
