Briefly, <br />the applicants are requesting a slight hardcover increase from <br />38.07% to 38.74% in the 75-250' zone, to construct a 16'xl9' <br />entryway addition and kitchen expansion plus a 5'xl8' covered <br />stoop. <br />At their May 21st meeting. Planning Commission recommended <br />approval subject to concurrent removals of hardcover to reduce <br />the 75-250' zone to 35%. Staff has met with the applicants' <br />builder, and he has indicated a portion of driveway which could <br />be removed to result in the 35% standard being met (see Exhibit <br />B). This would appear to leave a relatively functional driveway, <br />although the applicants did note that they have problems in the <br />winter if there is even a slight glaze on the driveway, hence <br />they were hesitant to remove either of the 2 driveway legs. <br />Staff Recommendation - <br />Based on the Planning Commission recommendation to reduce <br />hardcover to 35%, staff would recommend approval per the attached <br />resolution.
