Fcbr»ary*^X004 <br />Pt|t4of4 <br />Staff has also reviewed the optimum hardcover allowance as it relates to lot shape. An <br />ideally shaped ht of 0.527 acres would yield a 75’-250* area of 16,070 s.f. where the <br />applicant’s lot has a 75’-250’ zone of 15,200 s f. in area. 25% of the ideally shaped lot <br />wotild yield a hardcover allowance of 4,018 s.f. where the applicant's lot would yield <br />3,800 s.f. of hardcover. Applying the 4,018 s.f. hardcover amount to the applicant’s lot <br />would amount to 26.5% hardcover. The revised proposal is for 30% hardcover or 3.5% <br />beyond the optimum hardcover allowance. This amounts to approximately 524 s.f. The <br />Planning Commission should discuss the hardships which would allow further approval <br />of524 s.f. of hardcover, or 30% in the 75’-250’ zone. <br />Issues for Coiuidcralioii <br />1. To what extent of a hardcover variance should be approved when weighed against the <br />topographical constraints of the lot? <br />2. Is there enough hardship to allow approval of 524 s.f. of hardcover beyond the 26.5% <br />that could be supported by the optimum hardcover allowance relating to lot shape? <br />3. Has the applicant made a good faith effort towards reducing hardcover? <br />4. Is the revised proposal reasonable? <br />5. Are there any othn issues or concerns with this application? <br />Stuff RecommeMlation <br />Staff recommendations: <br />1. Approval of a lot area variance to allow construction of a new residence on a lot <br />which is 0.527 acres in size when 1 acre is normally required. <br />Approval of a lot width variance to allow construction of a new residence on a lot <br />where the width is 105’ when 140 ’ is normally required. <br />Approval of a hardcover variance of 26.5%. The Planning Commission should <br />discuss further approval of 524 s.f. or 30% total hardcover in the 75’-250’ zone. <br />4.Table of the conditional use permit and hardcover variance for the 0-75’ zone due <br />to incomplete information. This request can be heard once all the information the <br />City Engineer requested has been submitted. Two separate resolutions will be <br />approved; one for the 75’-250’ zone to allow a rebuild and one for the 0-75’ zone <br />which would address the railroad tie wall restoration and removal of one access to <br />the lake.
