Kalh^e Taylor was present. Barb HugS*j)roperty owner, was present. Weinberger stbted the Applicant Is requesting several'varfances to construct a two car garage where a one car garagesexists and to attach a deck to the second garage on the property. The property Is served with two g^ges, the first Is a one stall detached located on Tonkawa'Road and the second Is a two car gbrage attached to the house. This property Is located In the LR-1B, One Family Lakeshore Residential Dj^trlcL which has a minimum of one acres, and this property consists of .36 acre. The Applicant is proposing to obstruct a deck off the back portion of the two car garage with a spiral . staircase located next to It, v/hicnswould allow access to that area. Currently there are building ‘ permits Issued to this property for the remodeling of an office area above the eki^ng garage. The . deck becomes an Issue because it Is^uw hardcover located over e)dsting hardcover, and any time that structural coverage is placed over n^-structural hardcover, It requires a hardcover variance. The addition of the deck would not Increa^Uie hardcover on this property, nor would it increase the amount of structural coverage allowed on tiVproperty. The deck would bring the structural coverage to 15 percent The Applicant has proposed two options for the gahioe. Option A would move the garage back to the required 30 foot distance for a garage loading space o(a right-of-way. However, the setbadc In this area Is 35 feet, so It would still require a variance to the^eet yard setback. This option Increases ' structural coverage to 16.4 percent, exceeding the 15 percent allowed. This option also allows the occupants of the properly easier access In and out of the.gahsge during the winter months when the steep driveway approach prevents safe access into the proper^ Hardcover would also Increase In the 250-500' setback. Currently hardcover Is at 42.5 percent. Onty a small portion of the residence Is located within the 75-250' setback. The Applicant is proposing h^cover In the amount of 70.2 percent In the 250-500'setback. • • • • . 'V Weinberger stated Option B would utilize the existing location of the one stqll garage. The Applicant would construct a second stall to the existing one stall garage. This malntalns^e garage within the. required setbacks on the property, but still would require hardcover and structuhqt coverage variances. This option would not increase the hardcover as substantially as OptibqA This option simply places an addition on the exlstitig garag j, which Is located approdmately h^to three feet off .the property line. The new garage pressed In Option A would meet the 10 foot sell • • • * • • • • . . City Staff has reviewed this plan and have determined that the Applicant could construct stall garage that would be located 10 feet from the street property line and 10 feet from the side pr^erty .line If the doors are faced away from the street However, this option probably cannot be don^nce City Code requires a distance of 30 feel from the garage doors to the Ireet Tonkawa Road Is a Page 11
