Zoning File ^1883 October 5, 1993 Page 2 The site is approximately 160’ deep and 100’ wide, which would yield a building envelope excluding setbacks of 80’ wide by 100’ deep, suitable for construction of a single family residence without encroachment. There are no designated wetlands on the property. The property is in the 250-500’ hardcover zone, which would allow 30% hardcover or approximately 4,875 s.f. Applicant s conceptual plan estimates hardcover at 3,580 s.f. or 22%. The allowance for lot coverage by structures is 15% or 2,438 s.f. Applicant’s concept plan slightly exceeds this amount. However, no variance is proposed nor recommended, and applicant should be limited to 15%. The 14 ’ alley to the rear is not vacated, but is not open to travel. Applicant notes that if this were vacated, lot area would increase 700 s.f. or .016 acre, but would not quite increase to the 80% standard. The lot line abutting the platted alley is considered as a rear lot line for zoning purposes. Lots 8 and 9 are served by one sewer stub.

Mr. Englund and his neighbor to the east have recently cooperated on installation of a culvert to allow the historic eastward drainage pattern to be maintamed. Some filling of the property will likely be required in order to construct a residence. Applicant should be advised that a grading plan will be required as part of the building permit application process. Any filling prior to the building permit will, however, require a land alteration permit (and a conditional use permit approval if in excess of 100 cubic yards). Staff Recommendation If Planning Commission concludes that no additional land is available, that the best use for the parcel is as a single family dwelling site, and that construction of a rcsittencc on the property will iK)t be out of character with the neighborhood, a recommendation for approv could iiK:lude the following conditions:
