Zoning File #1678 September 19, 1991 Page 3 Hardship Statenent Please review Exhibit F, applicant's hardship statement. In reviewing item 2 applicant has amended proposal to remove the access drive at the south side of the property. The hardcover remaining is for the spillway that enters from the County drainage ditch to the lake. It should be noted that applicant's property receives drainage from the south side of 19 and along the north side of 19. The catch basin to the immediate southeast of the property funnels to the drainage ditch on applicant's property. Applicant has reduced hardcover within the 250 to 500' setback area from 39.6% to 21.3%. In regard to item 5, applicant has advised staff that invalid parents will be living within their residence and that the ability to access the property through the existing turnaround to the upper level front door is needed to facilitate access to and from residence. Access to the upper level may be often blocked by cars parked along the northerly access drive of the turnaround by a neighbor to immediate north. Applicant has asked to be scheduled at the Counci meeting of September 23rd as ^he entire heating system within the residence has been removed and there is an immediate need to install the new heating system while the contractor is available and before the colder weather sets in. Additional CoBaent and Planning Comsd.88ion Recoanendation The Planning Commission concurred that additional hardcover removal (greater than proposed 1,612 s.f. or 9.7%) was necessary in light of the impact of the existing bituminous paving on this property. Members concurred that the middle drive could be removed and still provide applicant with access to the upper level of the residence if an apron were provided along the east side of the existing residence. Members also advised applicant that in recalculating the hardcover facts that they did not believe it was fair to include the 162 s.f. for the concrete spillway serving the public drainage way. It was Planning Commission's hope that the amended site plan would result in the final hardcover somewhere in the lower 30's. The Planning Commission's recommendation results in 33.4% final hardcover - over original at 50.7%
