I <br />Zoning File #1609 <br />February 13, 1991 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />The 4' deck/catwalJc would result in 195.2 s.f. of additional <br />hardcover within the 75-250* setback area. The comprehensive <br />variance application would ask for approval of an increase of <br />299.2 s.f. or 1.79% of additional hardcover (104 net increase for <br />new deck, 195.2 for proposed second story deck). <br />Planning Commission members are asked to inspect the <br />landscape area in the front yard. It would appear that the <br />majority of the plastic underneath the landscape/rock area is in <br />a deteriorated state and would appear to allow permeation of <br />surface runoff. If Members classify landscape area as hardcover <br />based on recent directions from Council, the plastic must be <br />removed. Please review staff's sketched (Exhibit J), the slashed <br />area around the southern portions and western portions of the <br />house are landscape or rock areas underlain with plastic of a <br />more recent installation consisting of 268 s.f. of hardcover. <br />Options of Action - <br />1. Denial. If the application is to be denied, please refer to <br />the necessary findings in Section 10.08; or <br />2. <br />3. <br />Approval as proposed; or <br />Approval subject to applicant providing equal or greater <br />removals of existing hardcover. If removal is to be equal <br />and retain hardcover at existing 5,093 s.f. or 30.4%, <br />applicant must remove 299.2 s.f. of existing hardcover. The <br />only option available to applicant would be non-structural <br />hardcover such as landscape area underlain with plastic (268 <br />s.f.). The additional 31 s.f. can come from the <br />section of the paved drive not included within the easement <br />area (see darkened area on Exhibit J). <br />Approval may be based on one or more of the following <br />findings (review Exhibit Dl): <br />1. The second story deck/catwalk will provide a secondary <br />egress from the rear second floor bedrooms. <br />2. The second story deck/catwalk at a 4* minimum width will <br />be constructed with spaces between the boards. The deck <br />will be installed over a grassed lam area. <br />3. The existing lakeside deck was in a serious <br />deteriorating condition and needed to be replaced to <br />maintain safety. <br />4. The second level lakeside deck provides a secondary <br />means of egress from the split level residence. <br />^ > I M
