FILE 07-3266 <br />June 11, 2007 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />roughly at the same elevation as the Applicant's lot. It is two stories with a peak height of about 27 <br />feet and a side wall height of about 20 feet. <br />A revised grading plan was submitted but it is still not acceptable to the City Engineer. <br />Planning Commission Recommendation <br />On April 16, 2007, Planning Commission voted 5 to 1 to recommend approval of the variances subject <br />to the house being moved south to comply with the average lakeshore setback. The Applicant has <br />revised the site plan and satisfies this condition. <br />Planning Staff Recommendation <br />The lot width and area variances are routine requests. <br />At 43.68% proposed hardcover is a higher percentage than typical. This is because the property has <br />two Oto 75 foot zones. As proposed the street side Oto 75 foot zone could drain entirely to the north <br />across the 7 5 to 250 foot zone so it would function as if it were in that zone. If the street side 0 to 7 5 <br />foot zone were considered to be part of the 75 to 250 foot zone, the proposed hardcover in this zone <br />would be 36.14%. <br />There are no current hardcover calculations on file for the properties on either side but they appear to <br />have equivalent hardcover to what is proposed. Both have structural lot coverage in excess of 15%. <br />The Applicant's proposal meets the 15% limit. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Direct Staff to draft a resolution: <br />A. Granting the requested <br />a. lot width variance, <br />b. lot area variance, <br />c. grade adjacent to structure variance, and <br />d. hardcover in the south 0 to 7 5 foot zone variances as requested; <br />B. Granting a hardcover variance for the 75 to 250 foot zone to the extent the Council determines <br />appropriate; and <br />for Council consideration once the grading plan has been revised to the satisfaction of the City <br />Engineer.
