She wa~ts to niake sure the driveway is safe. In the 75'-250', she is inclined to approve something similar to the O'Keefe application. · Van Zomeren said the hardcover required is a matter of design, not hardship. The porches contribute significantly to the hardcover number. Mabusth feels the design could be changed to meet the hardcover requirements. She recommended they meet with their architect and work on the design. Hawn told the applicants they need to meet the 15% structural coverage and reduce hardcover so that it is close to 30%. McMillan recommended they look at the design of the garage and driveway approach. She does not want them to eliminate hardcover in the driveway and reduce safety in order to add more building hardcover. Paula Lindberg asked if it would adversely affect their application to make a more gradual slope for the driveway. McMillan said she looks at the driveway as a hardship because she does not want them to have an unsafe driveway; · · · · Mabusth recommended they have their final grading plan ready when the application comes before the Planning Commission again. Hawn asked if the applicants need to give their permission to extend the 60-day time limit. Van Zomeren said staff would send the applicants a letter regarding extending the 60-day time limit. She wanted to make it clear that it is difficult for staff to advise applicants on the square footage that might be approved because every variance is different. Hawn moved, McMillan seconded, a motion to table Application #2457,1392 Baldur Park Road, for variances and a conditional use permit until March 15, 1999. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0.
