The area is to be paved with permanent concrete, review E'diibit A. On your inspection <br />you will note that applicant is removing landscape areas underlain with plastic so as to mmimize <br />hardcover. The majority of hardcover results from the extensive blacktop drive and a limited <br />paved walkway. Members may remember the review of the application involving the property <br />to the immediate east. A portion of that driveway encroaches applicant ’s property. <br />In early conversations with applicant ’s contractor, he advised that the property had <br />excessive hardcover in the 75-250’ setback area and that applicant wished to place concrete <br />paving over landscape areas underlain with plastic and wood chips. Staff further advised the <br />owner and applicant of the need to file a variance application as once staff has been advised that <br />excesses exist, based on Council directives, owner should be advised to remove ^e excesses <br />when those excesses result from landscape areas underlined with plastic or geo-grid. <br />The applicant has agreed to file a hardcover variance to allow the installation of <br />permanent paving improvements where excesses of hardcover exist.
