There is major driveway paving, a portion of which serves neighbors property. <br />The applicant would like to make paving improvements over the patio areas, where <br />plastic.s and chips are presently There would be no increase in hardcover, but the <br />non-structural hardcover will become more permanent. The hardcover calculations <br />consist of 750 s.f for paving areas, with 612 s.f, or 3.4% of total, located beneath the <br />deck already, and 138 s.f. located adjacent to the garage door, serving as an area for <br />maintenance equipment. <br />Goetten asked what the hardship is for this request. Mabusth said there are limited <br />hardcover improvements (drive, residence, walkway) on the property and applicant <br />proposes no increases. Goetten said the Council would normally ask for removal of <br />other hardcover when excesses occur. Mabusth said all the landscaping areas underlain <br />with plastic have been removed prior to hardcover inventory. If this had not been done <br />the hardcover figure would have been much higher <br />Goetten asked about the driveway. Mabusth said there is no change in this area. Exhibit <br />D shows the driveway at 3600 s.f., which includes a portion used by the <br />Becker/Marchessault property and a portion serving the house to the west. Mabusth <br />noted the steep topographies within the drive area.
