Mr. and Mrs. Engler were present. Mabusth e x plained the applicants propose a famil y room addition over an e x isting patio area, 16 x2 0', completely l ocated in fron t of the average setbac k . She noted minimal impact on neighbors' property by the encroachment into the average setback area. They propose the removal of plastic under the landscape patio a ·rea, reducing the hardcover in both the 0-75' and 75-250' zones. Most of the excess hardcover in the 75-250' zone is due to the bituminous area, which serves as a turn-around for Birch Lane and is also used by the City to store snow. Nolan asked how they plan to address drainage. He expressed concern about trapping the drainage on the rear of the property. The applicants' bui Ider s.:ated they intend to solve drainage problems one of two ways by either allowing the drainage to flow in its natural pattern or by instal.l ing a retaining wal I adajcent to the addition on the west side. Nolan felt it would be appropriate for the applicants to submit a drainage plan. Rowlette clarified that there wi 11 not be a walk around the house . Engler stated that was correct. Nolan asked if it would be appropriate to require an easement over the bituminous area to ensure the City's use in the future. 5
