Zoning File #1473 February 7, 1990 Page 6 Although applicant has proposed an agreement to limit any further intensification of the current deck as proposed in the amended plan, the City's own ordinances would require a variance approval if the subject deck was to be enclosed. If a deck is to be approved by Council, the resolution approving the structure would forewarn any property owner that the deck structure could not be intensified without the appropriate approvals of the City. Options of Action Available to Council - 1. Denial finding that applicant has not demonstrated sufficient hardship to allow for more permanent structural hardcover within an area already containing excessive amounts of hardcover, and to require the immediate removal of the structure; or 2. Approval asking for the following reconstruction of the current deck structure: Per applicant's proposal, remove structure within the 0-75’ setback area, but also require removal of that portion of the deck that encroaches the side yard setback area, and approve 75-250' hardcover at 47.1%. Council would be approving a 16' encroachment of the average setback line; or Per Planning Commission recommendation, hold applicant to the 14'width requiring a 2'+ average lakeshore set back line encroachment and approving no side setback variances. Council may consider allowing 989 s.f. area of current deck to be reconfigured within the 10' side setbacks and the 14' extension from the front line of the existing residence. Prior to Council acting on such a proposal, applicant would have to submit a revised plan showing the reconfigured deck. Council must also approve applicant's proposal to reduce hardcover in the 75-250' setback area to a 47.1% or request additional removals either in the 75-250' or 250-500' setback areas. Council Action - To provide staff with conceptual direction so that an appropriate resolution can be prepared for Council's action at the February 26, 1990 meeting.
