Asst Planninq & Zonina Administrate: May 22, 19'»0 Subject: *1525 William anti Joan Wroblewski - 630 Park Lane Variance - Resolution Zoning District - LR-lB, Single family lakeshore residential, 1 acre, sewered Application ~ Request for hardcover v’ariance to construct concrete slab porch 1* above qrade Notice of Planninq Commission Action 5/22/90 Proposed Resolution Memo and Exhibits of 5/15/90 List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Exhibit B - Exhibit C - Discussion Please review the memo and exhibits of 5/15/90. Briefly, the applicants propose to construct a qrade level concrete patio extension to their existinq open front porch. This concrete will be considered as a non-encroachment because it does not need railings nor extend above the main floor level of the house, hence it does not need to meet the normal setback. However, it does constitute a change in the nature of hardcover on the property, which required the variance. The Planning Commission at their May 21st meeting recommended approval on a vote of 5 to 1. ihe applicants propose to remove an area of rock and plastic near the garage, which will result in a total reduction of hardcover on the property from 49% down to 45.6%. Planning Commissioner Cohen did not give any specific reason for his denial vote. The other Planning Commissioners generally felt that the proposal was an improvement to the property, but noted that any future enclosure of this poren slab would require a separate varianc® application for encroachment into the required 35* street setback. Staff Recoasiendation - Staff recommends approve I as submitted with the proposed hardcover reduction, per the planninq recommendation. A resolution for approval is attached ror your review. Isv
