Zoning File #1104 February 11, 1987 Page 2 of 2 Two bedrooms are indicated on the proposed plans. However, the loft area and the additional basement area easily could be used as bedrooms, and staff sees this application as a major increase in the potential intensity of use of the existing septic system, which is intermittently failing. Note that this property is within the Stubbs Bay Sewer Study Area and would be potentially served if that project ever occurs. The applicant has not, however, addressed how he will solve the septic problem for the interim. No site evaluation has been submitted as was required of the applicant. In review of the plans, staff also notes that based on existing and proposed grade lines, the proposed structure has a defined height of 35' requiring a 5' variance. The home occupation use of this property is still an unresolved issue. Applicant has not indicated how he intends to solve the problem of storage of commercial materials on his residential property. Although there are no recent complaints on file, staff does not see this issue going away. The intensity of use of this property for comrrercial storage and the associated gravel areas do have a bearing on potential septic sites. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends tabling this applicatior- subject to; 1. Applicant providing a site evaluation and design for interim septic repair/upgrade to handle the proposed house. 2. Applicant providing an acceptable justification or hardship reason for granting the structure-to-structure variance, or revise plans to shew house attached to garage; staff recommends denial of this variance as proposed and feels applicant should re-design to maintain the required 10' setback, or attach the garage. 3. Staff suggests that the side setback variance is justifiable given the addition is no closer to the line th<m the existing house. 4. Staff suggests that the rear setback variance is reasonable, given that the side lot line limits expansion to the left, septic system limits expansion to the front, garage and building height limitation limits the expansion to the right or upward. 5. Staff recommends that applicant be requested to address how he will handle the home occupation problems on this prope.'ty. 6. Applicant must provide a lo-scalo set of plans or revised plans for future review (existing plans filed are 1"=4.3', not workable scalel), and must provide an updated survey verifying the location of the garage. 7. Applicant must provide acceptable justification for the height variance or redesign to eliminate same.
