All the improvements were located within the 250-500 ’ setback area of <br />the property. Hardcover within the 75-250 ’ setback area was inventoried at 33%. The applicant <br />was required to remove some 316.5 s.f. or plastic underliner beneath a landscaped area as a <br />trade-off for the improvements within the 250-500 ’ setback area. Hardcover within the 75-250 <br />setback area was to be reduced to 1.608.8 s.f. or 28.3%. During the review of that application. <br />Council considered the use of a geogrid fabric as a replacement for plastic underlmers in an <br />attempt to control weeds. Council deemed this to be less objectionable than the use of <br />chemicals. At the May 28, 1991 meeting of the Council, unwoven geogrid fabric was approved <br />as non-hardcover. Applicant was advised of the Council’s decision and removed the plastic <br />underliner within the street yard and installed unwoven geogrid fabric. <br />As applicant installed the geogrid fabric with the approval of the City (refer to Exhibits <br />I, J, K and N), this area of hardcover was not included in the current hardcover inventory for <br />the 75-250 ’ setback area. <br />The current application involves the installation of a screened porch within a portion of <br />the existing deck (refer to E,\hibit D). Unformnately, a ponion of that deck encroaches the <br />required 35’ street yard by 1’. As the deck structure is to be intensilied with the installation ot <br />a screened porch, the applicant was asked to file a setback variance application. No other <br />variances are required. <br />Statement of Hardship <br />Please review Exhibit A.
