M3-390I M4TMluiwaRMd Jaw S, 2M3 Fi«e2 Staff RecomincndatioB Staff had originally recommended approval of the lot area and width variances but denial of the hardcover variances, based on the fact that a house could be constructed on the property without the need for a hardcover variance, and this is a rebuild. The hardships cited by ^e Planning Conunission may be valid, and all relate to the nature of the property or are circumstances beyond control of the property owner. However, the fact remains that a substantial home could be constructed on the site without the need for a hardcover variance, by making the home smaller and/or by moving it nearer the street to reduce driveway hardcover. As of this writing, a revised grading and drainage plan has not been submitted. Based on the above, staffs recommendation remains unchanged: • Approval of the variances for lot area and lot width based on the fact the lot is developed as a single family dwelling, has been provided sanitary sewer service and it would not be possible to acquire additional land to create a conforming lot. • Denial of the hardcover variance for hardcover in excess of 25% in the 75-250' zone, based on the fact that a house could be constructed on the property meeting the 25% limit. If the hardcover variance is denied, table the application for revisions to meet the 25% limit. Any action to approve/deny should be subject to submittal of a revised grading and drainage plan addressing the concerns of the City Engineer. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Take action regarding the lot area, lot width and hardcover variances and direct staff to draft a resolution reflecting that action for Council’s June 23 meeting; subject to submittal of a grading and drainage plan that must be found acceptable by the City Engineer prior to flnal Council adoption of the resolution.
