To: Planning Commission Chairman Kelley Orono Planning Commission Members City Administrator Bernhardson From: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator Date: September 15, 1989 Subject: #1453 William (Bo) Hibbs, 1905 Fagerness Point Road - Variance - Public Hearing Zoning District - LR-lC, Single family lakeshore residential, acre, sewered Application - Request for hardcover variance to enclose existing canopy area. List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Plat Map Exhibit C - Property Owners List Exhibit D - Survey Exhibit E - Survey with Staff Revisions Exhibit F - Applicant's Submitted Hardcover Calculations Exhibit G - Staff Hardcover Review Exhibit H - Staff Letter to Applicant dated 8/8/89 Pertinent Facts - 1. This property is located at the intersection of Fagerness Point Road and Webb Street. As a corner lot abutting a street and a side street-, the normal required side street yard setback along Webb Street would be 15' per Section 10.25, Subdivision 6 (B). The applicant proposes to enclose an existing roof extension of the house, in the area of the driveway. This enclosure will be 18' from Webb Street, meeting the required side setback. 2. However, because this is a change in the nature of ixisting hardcover (similar to enclosing an open porch, for instance), the existing 45.1% hardcover requires that a hardcover variance be obtained in order for this applicant to enclose this canopy area. 3. In reviewing the existing hardcover, there are a few areas of landscape rock with plastic that could conceivably be removed to decrease the hardcover percentage. There also is a concrete sidewalk northeast of the house which could be eliminated. The bituminous to the immediate southwest of the proposed enclosure would also seem to be extraneous, but might also be necessary to maintain drainage away from the house at that uphill side. Obviously, the majority of this residence was constructed prior to the effective date of the hardcover ordinance in 1975.
