Statement of Hardship ; The applicants have included their statement of hardship in Exhibit B. The applicants should also be asked for their testimony regarding this issue. Issues for Consideration; 1 .Structural coverage is increasing above the 15% allowed amount, however, the porch is outdoor living space. Is a variance from structural lot coverage requirements supported by applicant ’s stated hardships and the nature of the site? 2.Massing is not an issue in this proposal in staff ’s opinion. The entry way and porch addition are on the rear of the residence and the two adjacent properties will not be adversely affected by the addition. 3.The lot is undersized for the LR-1 C zoning district. 4.The residence was built well before current zoning standards were adopted. 5.The applicant is proposing to remove 600 s.f. of landscape plastic and a portion of the sidewalk reducing the hardcover in the 75-250' setback area. 6.The only variance requested and granted for this property was in 1973 for an addition to the existing garage. 7.Does the Planning Commission have additional issues or concerns with this proposal? Options for Action: 1.Recommend approval of variances for the entry way/porch. 2.Recommend approval of variances for the entry way/porch with stipulation that the porch not be turned into living space. 3.Require the entry way/porch to be smaller to conform with the 15% structural lot coverage regulations. 4.Recommend denial of variances. 5.Table for further review or further specific information, advising the applicant what other possible revisions will make the application acceptable. 6.Other.
