After the Planning Commission meeting, applicant proceeded to construct a garage without final Council approval or the necessary building permit. During that construction, the roof line was reversed so that run~ off will be directed towards the westerly neighboring property which is only 3' from the garage wall and less than 2* from the roof overhang. The garage as constructed is 21' x 32', or 672 s.f. in footprint area, requiring 10' setbacks from both the south and west lot lines. The garage was constructed 14* from the south lot line and 3.3* from the west lot line. The site plan with the garage as constructed yields 75-250' hardcover of 50.6%, with lot coverage by structures of 16.7%. The City Council reviewed the "as-built" site plan at the November 12, 1991 Council meeting, and voted 5 to 0 to table the request, directing applicant to meet with staff to consider other options. At the January 13, 1992 Council meeting, Council reviewed a number of alternative proposals resulting in various degrees of variance to the performance standards of hardcover, lot coverage, and setback. On a vote of 4 to 0, Council conceptually granted a hardcover variance to allow 50.6% hardcover in the 75- 250* zone, 16.3% lot coverage by structures, and denying the requested west side setback variance, based on the following findings: A. No suitable hardship is der«onstrated for allowing the substandard side setback for this illegally constructed garage. B. If the west end of the garage is removed to the 10' setback line, the remaining 21' x 25' garage results in a final lot coverage of 16.3%, a decrease of 1.2% from the pre-existing 17,5% lot coverage by structures.
