Staff feels this area should revert to grass, and the timbers and rock with plastic be removed.regarding the proposed railing ornamentation above the existing porch at the south end of the house, staff would note that this area will retain its pitched roof and will not function as a deck area. Staff would note that a bree that overhangs that area is also in the 0 —75' zone and must not be resioved to accomodate th»t railing. Staff Reco—e nd ation Given the proposed net decrease in overall hardcover on the property of 518 s.f., the proposed bay window, chimney and roofed entryway (all of which ®te over existing hardcover areas) would not add a significant amount of detrimental hard surface to the property. Those additions do ac'i somewhat to the perceived bulk of the house in the 0-75' zone, hence that factor should be taken into account while considering your recommendation. The more significant issues would seem to be the magnitude of existing hardcover on the property, the effect the proposed driveway change will have on drainage and it's necessitation of removing a significant tree from the property. On this property there is so much structure so near the shoreline that it may be appropriate to request that certain portions of that structure and much of the hard surface on the property be removed or relocated. Based on the above, staff would recommend approval of the proposed setback and hardcover variances, only under the following conditions: 1. Applicant shall submit a detailed grading and drainage plan showing existing and proposed contours for the yard areas that are now or will become driveway, such plan to be approved by the city engineer. 2. Applicant shall remove the areas of existing blacktop dr'.veway as shown and shall construct only the driveway and adrtlonal sidewalks as shown on the site plan appearing in the exhibits. 3. Applicant shall remove the landscaped rock/plastic/timber area currently located adjacent to the existing driveway, and this area shall revert to grass. 4. Applicant shall remove plastic from all other decorative rock beds on the property. Such plastic may be replaced with a porous geotechnical fabric to reduce weed growth. 5. Applicant shall remove plastic from below the sandbox area where the trampoline is located, and may replace that plastic with a porous geotechnical fabric if they so desire. 6. Applicant shall move the 8' by 16' existing shed to a location between the house and the fence where that shed will maintain the IPIliii ^ • i: i y ^ -fc,: '■ Vv;.;;::.. .. ■. . . . *vy li '• : vJl .
