The rock located around the driveway protects this portion of the property <br />from erosion as much of the drainage in this area follows the slope and is a difficult area to maintain <br />due to the steep slope that exists. <br />Weinberger stated the Applicants have reduced the hardcover somewhat on this property, and <br />hardcover in the 75-250' zone is 29.9 percent or 5,593 square feet, with the deck comprising 195 <br />square feet. <br />City Staff recommends approval of this application to allow an after-the-fact variance to permit a <br />detached, ground level deck located on the lakeside of the residence. <br />Schebler stated he has reviewed the survey and could possibly remove some hardcover which does <br />not consist of gravel. <br />Lindquist inquired how much of the 5,593 square feet is comprised of gravel in the 75-250' zone. <br />Weinberger stated that the gravel comprises 720 square feet. <br />Lindquist noted that 4,675 square feet is allowed under City Ordinance, with hardcover currently <br />being at 4,775 square feet without the gravel. <br />Schebler noted that they were told at the last meeting that the gravel should not be removed. <br />It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that the gravel should remain.
