1. <br />Hardship <br />attached, the present hardcover on the site Is 5854.7 square teet. The e)d8ting <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 />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, soutiieiiy 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 />The neighbors on either side of this site, as well as other neighbors along this <br />area of West Femdale 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. <br />i
