They request <br />a variance to permit 31.5% hardcover overall. Lot area and lot width variances are also requested. <br />Additionally, due to the low elevation on the property, they are proposing to elevate the home on <br />fill, which requires a 15-foot-wide perimeter rescue-bench elevation of at least 931.5’ around the <br />home, which cannot be met due to the narrow width; therefore, a CUP is also required. <br /> <br />Please refer to the Planning Report attached as Exhibit A for the full project description, CUP <br />criteria, and practical difficulty analysis. <br /> <br />4.Public Comment: <br />Comments in support of the application have been received and are attached as Exhibit I. <br />5.Staff Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval as applied. <br />6.Planning Commission Action Requested: <br />Planning Commission should consider a motion to approve the application as applied. <br />AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Exhibits <br />Exhibit A - Planning Report <br />Exhibit B - App & Narratives <br />Exhibit C - Practical Difficulty <br />Exhibit D - Survey_Existing Conditions <br />Exhibit E - Survey_Proposed <br />Exhibit F - Construction Plans <br />Exhibit G - Hardcover Calculations <br />Exhibit I - Neighbor Comments <br />7
