TO: Planning Commission Chairman Kelley <br />Planning Commission Members <br />City Administrator Bernhardson <br />FROM: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />DATE: June 3, 1988 <br />SUBJECT: #1275 Douglas Johnson , 1399 Park Drive - <br />-- Variance - Public Hearing <br />ZONING DISTRICT: LR-lB Single Family, 2 acres, unsewered. <br />APPLICATION: Variances for 0-75' hardcover, 0-75' structure, average <br />Lakeshore setback, side setback, building height, to allow <br />construction of major additions and decks to existing residence <br />structure. <br />LIST OF EXHIBITS: <br />Exhibit A - Application <br />Exhibit B - Plat Map <br />Exhibit C - Property Owners List <br />Exhibit D - Applicant's Memo of Request <br />Exhibit E - Old Survey <br />Exhibit F - Coffin & Gronberg Survey <br />Exhibit G - Redline Drawing of Survey (Plot Plan) <br />Exhibit H - Photo From Lake <br />Exhibit I - Various Elevation. Views <br />Exhibit J - Floor Plan (3 Levels) <br />Exhibit K - Hardcover Calculations by Applicant <br />Exhibit L - Hardcover Review by Staff <br />PERTINENT FACTS <br />1. Both existing and proposed hardcover percentages in the 75-250' <br />and 250-500' zones are within the allowable limits. The applicant <br />proposes o reconstruct decks in conjunction with additions to the <br />house. Th,-se decks and a small sliver of the addition will be located <br />within the 0-75' zone. The new deck and steps total 274 s.f. or 4.9% <br />hardcover, where originally 6.9% hardcover existed. <br />2. Applicant proposes to construct a third level with vaulted ceiling <br />above the existing 2 levels of the house. Please review the elevation <br />views shown as Exhibits I. Staff has calculated that the foundation <br />is 63.4% covered, hence the lower level is by definition considered <br />basement, and the height of the structure is measured from the ground <br />elevation on the high side, up to the peak of the roof. In this case <br />we use the peak elevation because the hightest peak contains open <br />living space and windows along the lakeshore end. Therefore, are <br />technically measured, the proposed house has a defined height of 31', <br />requiring a 1' variance to the 3C' height limitation. <br />3. In relation to the effect of the height of this structure on the <br />neighboring properties, note that this house already sets very lcw <br />into the hillside, at a distance below the neighboring properties to <br />the east and west. In addition existing vegetation screening between <br />
