Staff Recommendation <br />1.Staff recommends approval of a hardcover variance for the southerly 0-75' zone to <br />accommodate a driveway. The variance to allow hardcover in the 75-250' zone for a <br />complete rebuild is not necessarily in keeping with the City's normal practice of holding new <br />construction to a higher hardcover standard. The primary factor that supports some degree <br />of hardcover variance is that the 75-250' zone is reduced in size by having lake on both ends <br />of the lot. The fact that so much hardcover will be required to accommodate a side loading <br />garage suggests that hardcover might be reduced by having an end-load garage, but due to <br />topography it would have to be at a lower level to end up with a reasonably sloped driveway. <br />It is possible to construct a reasonable sized house on the property without requiring the <br />amount of hardcover proposed. The lot is a standard lot based on lot area and lot width. <br />2.The survey indicates the existing garage is to remain on the property. The applicant has been <br />advised the garage would be required to be removed simultaneously with the existing house. <br />In addition only one curb cut is permitted on an individual lot. <br />Options for Planning Commission Action <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br />Recommend approval of the variances to permit no greater than 25% hardcover on the <br />southern 250' of the lot, excluding the portion of the property that is used for the road. <br />Recommend conditioned approval on preservation of existing mature trees, or develop a <br />restoration plan if necessaiy and no greater than 25% hardcover. <br />Table. <br />Recommend denial. <br />^2559 Gilbert Gehle <br />1392 Baldur Park Road <br />I'ar lances <br />22300 <br />Page 5
