Request for Council Action continued page 2 of 3 August 20, 1997 Zoning File #2238 Applicants never signed the approval resolutions and the variance approval expired on October 9, 1996. In March 1997 the Building Inspector during an inspection of other remodeling work on the house, found that applicants had in fact enclosed the area under the deck and made some repairs to the deck without permits, without the appropriate variance being in effect, and without having completed any hardcover removals. In fact the gravel driveway to the lake now has new gravel added to it. Applicants now request after-the-fact approval to allow the enclosure under the deck to remain; and are concurrently proposing a 30’x32’ (960 s.f.) detached garage (which will be located to meet setback requirements). This building will provide additional inside storage for a number of items currently stored outside. The large RV stored at the site is not necessarily intended to be stored in the garage, but storage of this vehicle might be appropriate outside the 0-75' zone. The removal of the two remaining sheds on the property will be an improvement. Structural coverage on the overall property will be 2,887 s.f. or 6.2% Hardcover Summary 0-75' Zone (Area = 33,050 s.f.) 75-250’ Zone (Area = 13,400 s.f.) Planning Commission Recommendation Existing Proposed Allowed 3,609 s.f. (10.9%) 2,691 s.f. (8.1%) 0% 4,879 s.f. (36.4%) 4,815 s.f. (35.9%) 25% This item was reviewed by the Planning Commission on May 19th, at which time it was tabled to allow the applicants to consider options for removing or reducing the loop driveway as a hardcover tradeoff to the proposed garage. Planning Commission reviewed the application again on July 21st, and recommended as follows: A. Approval of deck repair/replacement and lower enclosure, subject to: 1. Removal of 8' driveway to lake, lakeshore deck, and small shed near the lake. 2. The enclosure must be brought into building code compliance. B The vote on the approval motion was 6-0. Denial of the proposed detached garage due to insufficient hardcover tradeoffs. This motion to recommend denial also was adopted on a vote of 6-0. Planning Commission concluded that, because applicants at the July 21st meeting agreed to removal of the lakeshore deck, that enclosure of the area below the deck attached to the house is reasonable. Note that the Building Inspectors have concluded that the degree of deck repairs absent the enclosure, was within the purview of a repair and not a replacement. •-t r-«rv. -
