1^97 <br />Hardship <br />1. Per the January 18,1995 survey and hardcover computations (2 pages) <br />attached, the present hardcover on the site is 5854.7 square feet. The existing <br />house is without any basement or attic storage area and only has a one car <br />carport. The lot is 8480.9 square feet in size. <br />2. The applicants can, and will if the building permit Is granted, reduce the existing <br />hardcover from 5854.7 square feet (5854.7 / 8480.9 = 69.03%) to 4800.5 <br />square feet (4800.5 / 8480.9 =* 56.60%), a reduction of 1054.2 square feet of <br />hardcover (-12.43%). This will be accomplished by removing certain gravel <br />driveway areas and walkways on the westerly, southerly and easterly sides of <br />the site, and removing sidewalks, wood steps, patio block and some front <br />canopy, and replacing the same with grass. <br />3. The neighbors on either side of this site, as well as other neighbors along this <br />area of West Ferndale Road, have in the past few years made various changes, <br />alterations, and additions to their properties in efforts to increase liveability. It is <br />our understanding that when the city granted such requests, the test applied <br />was minimal increases in hardcover and minimal reductions in required <br />setbacks, or better. On the Mitchell site there would be a 1054.2 square foot <br />reduction in hardcover and a slight increase in the size of the existing side <br />setbacks in the process creating a more liveable dwelling.
