PLANNING COMMISSION OPTIONS FOR ACTION <br />I. Approve variances noted above <br />2.Table <br />3. Deny, stating reasons <br />4. Other Action <br />Staff Recommendation <br />StafThas recommended the applicants reduce the size of the house to not encroach into the side yard <br />setbacks. Staff also recommends the additions be reduced in size to not exceed 15% lot coverage <br />by structure. Staffs opinion is the hardship statement does not support a structural lot coverage <br />variance and a side setback encroachment. <br />As noted above, the City looks at what is best for the long term plan for the City. When ordinances <br />were adopted for structural lot coverage the City adopted this to limit the amount of development <br />in neighborhoods, and create space beUveen buildings. Additional structure also contributes towards <br />additional hardcover which can negatively impact water quality by not allowing storm water to run <br />across natural ground surface. The concept is to allow storm water to be slowed and to infiltrate into <br />the ground. <br />Property owners and Plaiming Commission may want to consider additional hardcover removals on <br />the property, notably the 0-75' lake setback zone. <br />A review of the final grading and drainage plan will determine if the lot can accommodate the <br />proposed additions. A copy of the plan has been forwarded to the City Engineer for comment. <br />I02-27S3 Wesley Byrne <br />2« 17 Casco Point Road <br />Felmwy 19,2002 <br />Pa(e3or4
