MimiTBS OP THE PIAMlinK: CCMMMISSIOH NEBTI1IG JDHB 19, 1989 Z(NIIH6 PILE «1422-BREITHER COHTIIIUED property and drainage onto that property Is a concern due to its lower elevation. The City wants to make sure that drainage continues along and does not have any negative impact o.i this property. Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron asked the applicant what he intended to do with the higher portion of the lot? Mr. Preitner replied that they intended to take the knoll off of tha top of the hill which is approximately 1-1/2'. Gaffron asked about tree preservation. Mr. Breitner said that they were going to try and preserve the trees which was one of the reasons the attached garage was more preferable. Gaffron provided hardcover information for the existing house. In the 0-75' zone there is a boathouse and concrete sidewalk. The applicant wishes to save the boathouse and remove the concrete sidewalk. In the 75-250' zone, the existing is 25%. The applicant's proposal for the house, deck, and driveway would increase hardcover to 34.3%. Planning Commissioner Johnson asked whether the existing garage would be removed? The applicant responded that it would be removed. Planning Commlsslorer Johnson questioned whether the applicant had tried to keep hardcover wichin 25%? The applicant replied that they had looked at other alternatives, but felt that the present proposal was best. In order to maximize the views of the lake, the house had to be brought forward to the average lakeshore setback line. Due to the fact that a detached garage would have to meet a 30' setback from the road and the location of Putnam's garage, an attached garage would better fit the scheme of the property. Mr. Breitner further noted that hardcover would be approximately the same for a detached garage as they are proposing for an attached garage. Mr. Breitner said that the hardcover proposed is very close to what currently exists. Brown observed that the new driveway is proposed to be 1,000 s.f. The Planning Commission requested information pertaining to the hardcover percentages of the driveway, house and deck individually. Gaffron calculated that the deck was 350 s.f., the house was 2150 s.f. and the driveway would be 1080 s.f. It was moved by Planning Commissioner Hanson, seconded by Planning Commissioner Brown, to recommend approval of the hardcover, lot area and lot width variances under the following conditions: 1) The proposed hardcover envelope shall not exceed 34.26%. 2) Approval is contingent upon removal of the non- conforming, detached garage and sidewalk.
