r <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends approval of a three car garage subject to the following conditions and <br />amendments. <br />Staff recommends that the variance for hardcover of 28.4% in the 75 ’ to 250' zone be <br />amended or denied according to the attached survey amended by staff Staffs proposal <br />(attachment I) still allows the applicant’s three car garage. Hardcover is reduced in the 75 ’ <br />to 250 ’ zone by reducing the width of the proposed sidewalk to 3’, slightly reducing the <br />size of the driveway and reducing the length of the garage to 22’. Coinciding with this <br />proposal is a dramatic drop in hardcover in the 250' to 500 ’ zone due to a greatly reduced <br />driveway in this zone. Public Services Director Greg Gappa has advised that this <br />driveway proposal is feasible. This option would also protect the significant tree and <br />avoid problems associated with having to relocate utility pole support cables. If this <br />option is approved, the necessary amount of hardcover in the 75 ’ to 250 ’ setback would be <br />reduced to approximately 27% where the applicants proposal is at 28.4%. Hardcover in <br />the 250 ’ to 500 ’ zone would fall well below 30%, requiring no variance where 35.9% is <br />being proposed, requiring a variance. <br />Staff recommends approval of a variance of 27% hardcover in the 75 ’ to 250' zone where <br />25% hardcover is allowed. <br />Staff recommends denial of the variance of 35.9% hardcover in the 250 ’ to 500' zone as <br />this requirement can be met. <br />Staff recommends denial of the side setback variance of 3’ to allow for a 7 ’ side setback as <br />staff has demonstrated the 10 ’ requirement can be met while preserving the significant <br />tree. <br />As a condition of approval of either the applicant’s or staffs proposal is the allowance of <br />no further hardcover on any portion of the lot. <br />Staff recommends approval of the application subject to the above amendments and <br />conditions. <br />Attachments <br />A <br />B <br />C <br />Application <br />Plat Map <br />Location Map <br />U2291 Ste\ an Sigel <br />1399 Park Dnvt <br />Variances <br />9/15/9" <br />Page 6 <br />-J
