STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of a three car garage subject to the foHowing conditions and amendments. Staff recommends that the variance for hardcover of 28.4% in the 75' to 250' zone be amended or denied according to the attached survey amended by staff. Staffs proposal (attachment I) still allows the applicant's three car garage. Hardcover is reduced in the 75' to 250' zone by reducing the width of the proposed sidewalk to 3', slightly reducing the size of the driveway and reducing the length of the garage to 22'. Coinciding with this proposal is a dramatic drop in hardcover in the 250' to 500' zone due to a greatly reduced driveway in this zone. Public Services Director Greg Gappa has advised that this driveway proposal is feasible. This option would also protect the significant tree and avoid problems associated with having to relocate utility pole support cables. If this option is approved, the necessary amount of hardcover in the 75' to 250' setback would be reduced to approximately 27% where the applicants proposal is at 28.4%. Hardcover in the 250' to 500' zone would fall well below 30%, requiring no variance where 35.9% is being proposed, requiring a variance. Staff recommends approval of a variance of 27% hardcover in the 75' to 250' zone where 25% hardcover is allowed. Staff recommends denial of the variance of 35.9% hardcover in the 250' to 500' zone as this requirement can be met. Staff recommends denial of the side setback variance of 3' to allow for a 7' side setback as staff has demonstrated the 10' requirement can be met \ bile preserving the significant tree. As a condition of approval of either the applicant's or staffs proposal is the allowance of no further hardcover on any portion of the lot. Staff recommends approval of the application subject to the above amendments and conditions. Attachments A B C Application Plat Map Location Map U229!
