Zoning File #1291 July 15, 1988 Page 2 of 3 Review Exhibit 8, Gaffron has prepared a sketch and table showing the calculations to determine the exposure of the lower elevation. If more than 50% of the lower f loor was exposed, the measurement of the height of the structure would have to be at the lakeside. If this was the case, the applicant would require a height variance, specifically a 2' variance - total height 321. Review Exhibit 5, Gaffron's calculations confirm the lower level exposure at 43.1% and would require the measurement taken now from the street level entrance showing a total measurement of 26'6", requiring no height variance. Please review Exhibit 1, the question of the need for a height variance became even more important to staff in light of the neighbor who expressed concern about the view issue. In the original discussions with the neighbor, staff never noted the need for a height variance. Throughout the review, staff noted at the meeting and also in memo form to both Planning Commission and Council that the master bedroom deck was to be extended over the existing grade level deck. This proved also to be an incorrect fact as only a small portion of the upper level deck extends over the grade level deck. 17' of the 20' deck extends over the natural ground cover. Both applicant and applicant's contractor never attempted to correct staff in that assumption nor was there any attempt to correct staff in the final memo to the Council. In the original set of plans, it appeared to staff that the second story bedroom addition was to be built over the new garage addition. This was incorrect. This is why staff kept noting that only the master bedroom suite upper deck was approved in this application. The lakeside elevations showed a system of layered decks that were not accounted for. As the upper level deck with the 4' width was to be included in hardcover, staff rechecked the 75-250' hardcover calcuiations against the applicants. They are as follows: 75-250' setback area 28,319.5 s.f. Existing hardcover per applicant's applicatio,► 10,864.1 s.f. or 38.4% Existing hardcover per staff's review = 10,973 s.f. or 38.7% House/Porch 1,905 s.f. Deck = 737 s.f. Tennis Court = 4,786 s.f. (total court 5,036 s.f. minus 250 s.f. for portions of court in the 250-500' setback area and in road right-of-way) Walks/Steps = 268 s.f. Bituminous Drive = 3.277 s.f. (total drive 3,530 s.f. minus 253 s.f. located within 250-500 setback area and road right-of-way) Staf: recommends holding to the 38.4% hardcover total presented by applicant.
