He explained the* <br />current floor plan of the house. <br />Stoddard asked If the desire for extra living space or the desire for garage space steered the ^ <br />application. <br />Roelofs said they go hand in hand. The applicants want to bring a garage to the lot and expand the <br />house. They want to keep the house as contiguous as possible. He said the addition Is entirely <br />behind the setback line. Roelofs reviewed the sizes of the neighboring houses. He said they would <br />like some direction from the Planning Commission members before making further plans. <br />Stoddard said he would like to see the hardcover scaled back. He asked what the hardcover would <br />be if the structural coverage was brought down to 15%. <br />McMillan said the applicants are allowed a minimum of 1,500 feel of stmclural coverage and that <br />would automatically trigger addRional hardcover. She said that 15% structure coverage would be <br />1,565 square feel and the applicants are proposing 1,650 square feet She said she could approve <br />the application if the structural coverage was reduced to 1,565 square feet. <br />Roelofs said that would mean a reduction In building mass of 85 square feet He said they did <br />consider maldng the garage shorter, but R doesn't reduce hardcover because the driveway would be <br />longer. <br />f/lcMIIlan said she believes that structural coverage Is more Important than hardcover and 1,565 <br />iiquare feel would be very close to the allowed 1,500 square feet of structural coverage. <br />Lindquist and SmRh agreed wRh McMillan. <br />There were no public comments. <br />Lindquist asked If Roelofs was comfortable with reducing the structural coverage to 15%. <br />Roelofs said he believes they can work R out. <br />McMillan moved, Smith seconded, a motion to approve Application #2451, Lyle and Gretchen <br />Shaw, 1760 Shadywood Road, for a hardcover variance In the 76 ’-260* lakeshore setback with <br />the condition that prior to the Issuance of a building permit the applicant provide a drainage <br />plan that would be acceptable to City Staff.
