FILE 07-3266 July 23, 2007 Page 2 of 2 summary is derived from information in City files and reflects the permitted hardcover, not the actual hardcover. Six the 16 other properties were granted width and area variances for new houses. All included hardcover variances. A hardcover variance was also granted for a new house on a lot that exceeded the minimum size and width requirements. Five others have been granted hardcover variances for additions. The remaining four have not received a permit for work that would change hardcover. Council had previously tabled this application and directed the applicant to resolve the drainage issues. The issues have been resolved. The Applicant will create swales along the side property lines from the street yard to the lake yard. In the lake yard the swales merge toward the center of the lot and continue to the lakeshore. This arrangement will facilitate drainage of the lakeshore yard of the property to west (1400). Planning Commission Recommendation On April 16, 2007, Planning Commission voted 5 to 1 to recommend approval of the variances subject to the house being moved south to comply with the average lakeshore setback. The Applicant has revised the site plan and satisfies this condition. Planning Staff Recommendation The lot width and area variances are routine requests. The flood plain variance is a technical issue. The hardcover level is comparable to other properties on the Baldur Park Road. Hardcover could be reduced by placing the house closer to the road and reducing the size of the house. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED 1. Determine if the proposed house plan is acceptable. 2. Determine if the proposed level of hardcover is acceptable. 3. If the house plan and the hardcover are acceptable, direct Staff to draft a resolution granting the variances. If both are not acceptable, table the application or direct Staff to draft a resolution denying the variances.
