A small portion of the addition will be placed over an existing paved walkway. The <br />residence on the lot to the northwest has a cement stoop that extends 5’ from residence and is <br />located approximately 6’ from the side lot line. There would be an approximate 12 + access <br />corridor for access of emergency vehicles if the 10’ addition is approved on applicant’s property. <br />In the original presentation of facts by staff for the review by the Planning Commission, staff <br />questioned the exact areas shown and hardcover information.

Jensen also reviewed the existing <br />improvements within first floor plan noting this was the only logical or ftinctional location for <br />an entry addition. <br />Members also called attention to the 18.5% of landscaped area that was not credited as <br />hardcover. Applicant was advised that their approval of this setback variance would be <br />conditioned on requirement that if plastic or geotechnic fabric is found beneath the landscai^ <br />areas by the Building Inspector with spring inspections that the existence of such would be in
