Zoning File #1473 December 6# 1990 Page 2 Status of Application - At the July 2 3, 1 9 90 meeting of the Council, Members conceptually . .nied tne after-the-fact variance as proposed and directed staff to prepare a denial resolution for future action. At the Council meeting on August 13, 1990, staff asked that all pending action on the application be delayed until staff had adequate time to review the hardcover discrepancies that arose in the latter part of the review. Applicant had contended a 10% reduction was always proposed and staff's calculations resulted with merely a 5% reduction (review Exhibits G and H). On October 3rd, staff met with Mr, Johnson to review the hardcover information prepared by staff (review exhibit F). At that time Mr. Johnson was advised to have his surveyor review the hardcover calculations of the bituminous drive within the 75-250' setback area and to consider any other additional removals of hardcover. The s<"aff sketch of existing hardcover (Exhibt F) was accepted by Johnson subject to any new findings of surveyor. The applicant' surveyor has submit a revised survey (refer to Exhibits C and J). The driveway area within the 75-250' setback area was originally determined at 2,272.25 s.f. The revised calculation is at 2,350 s.f. (refer to Exhibit D). Applicant also advises that 372 s.f. of landscape area existed on the property prior to any deck construction. This has been included in the revised hardcover calculations. Staff cannot recall whether the landscane area adjacent to the former deck was underlain with plastic, but it may very well have been. Staff can confirm that there was indeed a la dscape area surrounding the former deck. Since other former landscape areas on the property are underlain with plastic, it is very likely that the landscape area within the lakeshore yard wa- underlain with plastic. This would confirm existing :«facover prior to construction at 59%. Applicant's proposal now offers the removal of 1,899 s.f. of non-structural hardcover (landscape area) for 530 s.f. of new structural hardcover. The former deck was at *^10 s.f.; the proposed deck is 1,040 s.f. The proposal still has the deck extending beyond the average lakeshore setback lire the same distance the previous deck had encroached. Staff has drafted 2 resolutions; one of denial and the other of approval. In light of the direction of the Counc: 1 to the applicant at their July 23rd meeting, the applicar;** was asked to pull the new deck out of the average lakeshore area. This would be consistent with previous actions by the Council in an attempt tP minimize the variances sought by an applicant where such excessive hardcover exists. This would reduce overall hardcover by approximately 46 s.f., reducing overall hard^'over to 2,609.45 s.f. or 48%. The enclosed approval resolution can be amended to include non encroachment of the average lakeshore setback line.
