One n«;ighboring property owner was present and asked a number of <br />specific questions but did not ct*ject to the proposal. Planning Commission recommended as <br />follows: <br />a) Approval of the lot area variance. <br />Dgnislofthe side setback variance, indicating there is insufficient hardship to justify granting <br />of the variance. <br />Approval of the front setback variance relative to an ‘alternate’ plan which results in no side <br />setback variance, and a defined front street setback of approximately 35’. <br />Planing Commission recommends that the new home be connected to municipal sewer rather <br />than reconnected to the existing septic system, on the basis that the rebuild will otherwise <br />result in a virtually new residence with a 20-year old septic system. <br />Planning Commission recommends that the applicant have the wetland delineated prior to <br />construction of the 2nd-story deck to ensure it meets the minimum wetland setback. <br />b) <br />c) <br />d) <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff is in complete concurrence with the Planning Commission recommendation. A resolution <br />reflecting the PC recommendation is attached for your adoption. <br />Note that the applicant may wish to address the side setback and sewer issues, therefore this is not <br />placed on the consent agenda. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Adopt or amend the attached resolution.
