Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />October 14, 1991 <br />Subject: #1682 Christine Brickley, 3262 North Shore Drive <br />Variance - Continuation of Public Hearing <br />List of Exhibits <br />A - Revised Garage Plan Submitted <br />B - Staff Sketch, Revised Site Plan <br />C - Notice of Planning Commission Action 9/16/91 <br />D - Memo and Exhibits of 10/6/91 <br />Discussion <br />Applicants have revised their garage proposal, reducing <br />size from 1056 s.f. to 768 s.f. (24* x 32'}. <br />the <br />The revised garage of 763 s.f. requires 15' setbacks from <br />the west and south lot lines. Applicants propose to make use of <br />the recently poured slab, hence the new proposal leaves a 10.5' <br />setback to the south lot line and 3.3' to the west lot line. <br />At your September meeting, applicant indicated that the <br />garage and slab would not increase hardcover above the pre­ <br />existing levels, because the previous garage and shed were <br />positioned near the west lot line with gravelled parking area in <br />front, hence the area covered by slab was already totally <br />hardcovered. We have no photos or pre-existing survey to verify <br />this, however, in this case hardcover in the 75-250' zone would <br />remain at 50.6% with the current plan. Applicants propose to use <br />the southerly 8' of the slab for boat and truck storage. <br />Issues to Consider <br />1. Is there sufficient hardship or justification to grant a <br />4.5* south lot line setback variance and 11.7' side setback <br />variance to allow the proposed garage? <br />2. Under the current proposal, lot coverage will stay at the <br />pre-existing level of 17.5%. The 768 s.f. garage contains <br />the equivalent enclosed space of the pre-existing shed, <br />garage, and storage barn. Is there sufficient hardship or <br />justification to grant a variance for 17.5% lot coverage? <br />3. If hardcover stays at its claimed pre-existing level of <br />50.6% in the 75-250' zone, is there hardcover in the 0-75' <br />zone that could bo removed to compensate?
