Neighborhood History: The applicant has obtained a copy of the survey, hardcover calculations and resolution for the adjacent property - 1770 Shady wood Road. In October 1997, the Planning Commission and City Council approved variances for an after the fact deck. See attached Resolution #3974 as Exhibit K. Brief Summary of proposed changes: The 0-75' setback area: The existing deck has 65 s.f. located in the setback area. The deck has been redesigned to eliminate it from protruding into the setback area, lowering the hardcover calculations in this setback area to 0%. No variance needed. The 75-250' setback area: The existing deck has 220 s.f. in the 75-250' setback area, the first proposal was for 291 s.f. to be located in this area. The redesigned deck proposes 235 s.f. to be located in this setback area. In the combined setback areas, total deck square footage is reduced from 285 s.f. existing to 220 s.f. proposed. The side entry as exists is 37 s.f. The first proposal was for 165 s.f The redesigned side entry is for 80 s.f The applicant ’s are still proposing to remove 95 s.f of driveway and 128 s.f of sidewalk.. The deck, side entry, reduction of driveway and sidewalk reduce the hardcover calculations for this area firom 3,204 s.f (43.7%) existing to 3,039 s.f (41.4%) proposed. A variance is still required for hardcover within the 75-250' setback area. Structural Coverage: The existing structural coverage for the lot is 1,977 s.f or 15.7%. The new proposal because of the side entry being larger than what exists is 2,020 s.f or 15.9%. The applicant understands that the zoning code only allows 15% structural coverage, but wishes to keep the side entry at 8’ x 1 O' (80 s.f instead of the 165 s.f first proposed). The first staff report has larger numbers for structural coverage because the deck was included in this calculation, however, it has been determined that the deck is under 6' in height and is not included in structural coverage calculations. A variance is still needed for structural coverage. This application requires the following variances: Section 10.03, Subd. 14(C): Lot coverage: In all zoning district, for all lots of 0-1.99 acre in total area, the total combined footprint areas of all principal and accessory structures shall not exceed 15% of the lot area. To permit a variance to allow lot coverage to be 2,020 s.f (15.9%) where 1,977 s.f (15.7%) exists and 1,894.1 (15%) is allowed. #2558 Anthony/Linda Patterson / 780 Shadywood Road Variances 2/14/00 Page 2 i i
