fr Zoning File 11696 November 5, 1991 "*age 5 Additional Coanents and Planning Coanission Reccanendation The Planning Commission failed to effect a vote of recommendation to the Council resulting in a 3 to 3 split vote. The issue for all members was the increase in hardcover that produces a 10% hardcover variance at proposed 35%. All members concurred that an attached garage constructed at the street level was appropriate because of the limited street yard width at 33*. The three members who voted to deny the application as proposed recommended a footprint at 24' x 23' (two-stall garage). Members that chose to deny the application did not agree that an interior access to the residence was necessary The applicant was advised that the 1-1/2' deck shown in the street yard was considered an encroachment and could not be approved as it would bring the structure 8-1/2' from the street lot line. Members who voted to approve Mr. Ward's proposal felt that staff's suggestion to consider limiting total structure to merely a two-stall garage and the 6' access stair at 32' x 23* had a minimal effect on the overall hardcover (applicants footprint proposed at 23' x 35' or 805 s.f. and staff's suggestion with a footprint proposed at 23' X 32' or 736 s.f. resulted in a reduction of only 69 s.f. or 0.82%). Revieir of Total Bardcover Within the 75-250' Setback Area Allowed - 2,097.25 s.f. or 25% Applicants proposal (approved by 3 members of the Planning Commission) * 2,976.41 s.f. or 35% Hardcover per denial vote « 2,699.41 s.f. or 32.17% Council members are asked to review Page 3 and 4 where staff lists ex ting and proposed hardcover improvements relating to area ar' percentages of hardcover. Council members may wish to seek add.tional removals. The Planning Commission did not address staff's request for written confirmation from a well contractor that well can be serviced as shown on approved plan. The condition has been included in the enclosed approval resolution. All members concurred that tlie street setback required for this principal structure addition would be 35' rather than 10' for a garage addition. The street setback variance required is for 25' or 71.%. An approval resolution has been drafted with appropriate blank spaces. The resolution can be completed once Council has determined the allowed percentage for the hardcover variance within the 75-250' setback area. Isv
