Zoning File 01275 <br />July 7, 1988 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />The Planning Commission expressed great concern in that if the <br />foundation of the existing house ended up being totally replaced, that <br />applicant would be required to move the house to meet the 10' side setback <br />and so that decks would meet the 75' setback. To this end, Planning <br />Commission made its variance approval recommendation contingent on the <br />applicant providing a certified structural review of the foundation <br />verifing that it can be reused. Applicant has provided such documentation <br />to show that the existing foundation can be re -used if it is "beefed up" by <br />pouring an inner sleeve along the outside bearing wall. The Building <br />Inspector has reviewed this proposal and has indicated that it is <br />acceptable. <br />Just to cover the bases, staff will still recoinmend the inclusion of <br />the clause within the resolution that states that the house must be <br />relocated to meet all required setbacks if the foundation ends up being <br />replaced for some reason. <br />Given that applicant has removed a non -conforming shed from the 0-,5' <br />zone and proposes to remove additional hardcover in the 0-75' zone, <br />approval of the sightly larger deck square footage in the 0-75' zone would <br />appear to not be inconsistent with past Council practices, especially given <br />the location of the existing house. <br />Staff Recomendation - <br />Staff recommends approval per the Planning Commission recommendation, <br />per the attached resolution. <br />
