Zoning File <^2168 <br />September 9,1996 <br />Page 2 <br />List of Exhibits <br />A - Application <br />B - Applicants' Addendum <br />C - Plat Map <br />D - Property Owners List <br />E - Floor Plan <br />F - Survey <br />G - Staff Skctch/Tossible Alternative for Garage <br />H - Topographic Map <br />Review of Application <br />Review Exhibits E and F, applicants propose a 12’xl6' main level deck to be installed over an <br />existing aggregate patio area at the northwest comer of residence. The addition of 192 s.f. of deck <br />area still falls within the allowed total area of structural cov erage for the property, proposed at 13.07. <br />Existing hardcover in the 75-250 ’ setback area is at 55%. 192 s.f. of hardcover improvement <br />becomes more permanent. No additions or reductions in hardcover are proposed within the 75-250 ’ <br />setback area. The structure meets all required setbacks of the LR-1B Zoning District. <br />Refer to E.xhibit B, applicants note the proposed deck is really a replacement deck. The former deck <br />was unsafe and has been removed. Applicants further note the proposed deck is smaller than the <br />previous deck. <br />The applicants ’ addendum also seeks direction from the City regarding the placement of a future <br />garage on the property. On your inspection review development along the north side of Highwood <br />Road. You will note one single stall attached garage and another single stall detached garage. None <br />of the substandard properties along the north side can support a double stall garage. Applicants' <br />property is even more restricted by the severely sloping topography to the west (review Exhibit H). <br />The only portion of the prop>erty that could support a garage with access from Highwood Road is the <br />eastern portion. Applicants may be able to construct a single stall attached garage at the southeast <br />comer of the residence. Refer to Exhibit G, a 10 ’x20 ’ single stall garage could be placed over <br />portions of the existing residence, 8’ wide stoop and 18’ of existing drive. Such an addition would <br />require side, street and hardcover variances. <br />Refer to Exhibit H, applicants ’ residence lot is the most western of the properties served by the cul- <br />de-sac road. Any future variance application for a single stall garage must provide detailed <br />information on existing improvements within Highwood Road. Applicants may need to provide <br />additional guardrails at end of public road. The City Engineer and Public Works Department will <br />have to w'ork vvitli applicants to ensure safe use of both applicants ’ revised drive and public right-of- <br />way for back out maneuvering. Applicants should be advised that there is no guarantee that the <br />required variances would be approved by a future Council.
