The <br />revised plan calls for a newly constructed one-story home with an attached three stall garage, and the <br />Applicants are requesting a variance to the hardcover to add an additional 300 square feet of patio, <br />which would yield final hardcover of 6.025 square feet or 26.3 percent.

The grading <br />plan needs to be further defined If revisions are still planned along the north 0’-75' lot line. The <br />Applicants are also proposing to construct an optional retention pond in the south 0'-75 ’ zone for <br />potential mitigation of additional hardcover. <br />Gaffron commented this new proposal meets the Planning Commission’s recommendations from the <br />prior meeting, and Staff is comfortable with the revised plan. <br />Gaffron noted Resolution No. 2831 adopted back in 1990 granted variances to this property and <br />contained language In the resolution which led the Applicant to conclude that he was entitled to more <br />Page 2
