Histor}: <br />The lol was created in 1974. The original house was built in 1977 meeting the 1 acre setback <br />standards still in cfTecI today. Since th ' time, there ha\e been a number of variances on the lot. <br />In 1986 (Zoning File #1023), a variance was granted to increase hardcover as a result of a room <br />addition, from 26.8®/o to 27.1?«i where 25'Jo is permitted <br />In 1990 (Zoning File #1523), the hardcover was reviewed again when a kitchen addition was <br />proposed and it was found that hardcover had been added since the previous application. The <br />1 ardcover increased to 28.4 /o as a resu't of additional rock on plastic, permeable fabric and a <br />screened ga/ebo. <br />In 1996 (Zoning File #2173), an after-the-fact structure u> structure setback variance f)r the <br />gazeK> and reduction in hardcover to 24.3®o was required before the propertv was sold to a new <br />owner. <br />Historically, the hardcover calculations on these applications were calculated by City stafl ’. ’\‘hcn <br />the applicant talked to staff in late 2002 about building a deck, the Building Inspector roughly <br />calculated hardcover numbers to make sure that the deck would be permitted For the proposed <br />garage addition, hardcover calculations from a surveyor were requested to ensure that the <br />calculations were accurate. <br />Hardship: <br />The applicants have included their statement of hardship in Fxhibit B The applicants should alsi' <br />be asked for their testimony regarding this issue <br />Issues for Consideration: <br />1.
