TIHG HSLD OCTOBER 19, 1987MIMUTBS OP THE PLABBIHG COMMISSIOH H <br />#1213 lACT COHTIVDED <br />Brown felt that the additional hardcover was not <br />critical because the lot is so open with no structure in <br />front or back of house. <br />Rollin Lacy stated one of the hardships is the fact that <br />they cannot use in their hardcover calculations the 33* <br />wide setback area along the public easement area which <br />is not really used, and which would considerably <br />decrease the hardcover and no hardcover variance would <br />be necessary. <br />Bellows recoimitended adding a third garage stall to the <br />proposed attached garage and removing the existing <br />detached garage in order to decree je the hardcover. She <br />asked applicant to explain the hardship for retaining <br />the additional garage. <br />Mr. Lacy stated that additional garage was needed for <br />storage of additional equipment that would otherwise be <br />kept outside. He also noted that the proposed garage <br />has a second story above it and adding another stall <br />with house above would substantially increase his cost. <br />He noted that the additional hardcover involved is <br />merely the asphalt leading to the additional garage, <br />which he would rather remove than add the third attached <br />garage, however, would rather not. <br />There were no comments from the public regarding this <br />matter and the public hearing was closed. <br />Johnson agreed with Bellows regarding addressing the <br />additional garage. <br />Brown felt the additional hardcover would not impact the <br />drainage into the lake because of the flat gentle sloped <br />area of lot. <br />Hanson agreed with Brown and also agreed with hardcover <br />hardship as explained by Mr. Lacy. <br />Chairman Kelley felt hardcover should be reduced. <br />It was moved by Brown, seconded by Hanson, to recommend <br />approval as proposed. Motion, Ayes 3, Nays 3. Kelley, <br />Bellows, and Johnson voted nay. Kelley and Bellows <br />opposed the hardcover increase. Johnson opposed the <br />proximity of the existing garage to the lot line and <br />granting a an additional variance for the garage. <br />Motion tied. <br />Mr. Lacy stated as a compromise he would rather remove <br />the driveway area to the detached garage and/or deck <br />area in order to reduce the hardcover.
