The lean-to and street deck removals will reduce two existing setback encroachments. Hardcover: The subject property falls in the 250-S00 ’ setback zone. The applicant is proposing to remove and add hardcover, and will slightly decrease the amount of hardcover by 46 s.f. The hardcover that exists on the subject property is 4,349 s.f. (27.5%) and the proposed amount is 4,303 s.f. (27.2%). Both are below the allowed 30%. A hardcover variance in the 250-500 ’ setback zone is not required. PLANNING COMMISSION: Planning Commission reviewed the requested variances and site issues at a public hearing held on Wednesday, January 22, 2003. Planning commission recommended as follows: 1. Approval of the front yard setback. 2. Approval of lot coverage by structure with condition of removing the shed. 3. If the part of the foundation which is located within the 30' front setback needs to be replaced, the application will be revisited. The vote on the above conclusions in the form of a motion was 5 to 1 , with Commissioner Marc Fiit/.ler in the minority, of the opinion that the proposed project was new construction versus remodel due to the potential of extensi%e first story removals. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the enclosed resolution. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: To adopt or amend the enclosed resolution. i i
