#695 Guenther Roth August 2, 19E3 Page 2 The application was originally filed in July of 1992 proposing that a 52' X 25', two-story detached garage replace the existing 21.8 X 20.8' single story garage located on Lots 17 & 18. Lots 17 & 18 are legally combined with Lot 8 (Exhibit K), the homestead lot located directly across Baldur Park Road. The Planning Commission advised the applicant that they could not recommend approval of the application as proposed and asked applicant to consider specific revisions as follows: 1. Reduce garage size 2. Garage to be located on Lots 17 & 18 and to be p aced as far from the wetlands/lake as possible. 3. Drainage to be directed away from lake - all dry buildable on Lots 17 & 18 are located within 0-75' setback arQ a. 4. Doors to face street limiting hardcover. The applicant has returned with that amended proposal a year later. The above setback and hardcover factual review relates only to the Planning Commission recommendations as amended by staff. The current Planning Commission recommended that the garage be relocated on the house side preferring an increase in hardcover with the 75'-250' setback area rather than the 0-75' setback area. In addition to cut down on hardcover, they recommended that the garage doors face toward the street at a 10' setback off the street right of way. Staff must recommend that if you approve the garage with doors facing the street, that a minimum street setback of 20' be requirad to allow the car enough distance to pull-out of the garage prior to entering the street. Remember, Baldur park Road is extremely narrow in width. Staff recommends placing the garage 10' off the street right of way with doors facing away from the street and a turnaround drive providod on the site. Both recommendations result in the same amount of hardcover increase within the 75'-250' setback aea. Review Exhibits G & If. Planning Commission recommendations as amended by staff: To recommend approval of the setback and hardcover variance application of Guenther Rote to allow the construction of a 22' X 24' single story detached garage based on the following findings: 1. No additional land available 2. Setback of proposed garage is consistent with setbacks of existing garages on Baldur Park Road. 3. Amended proposal results in decreaev in hardcover with the 0-75' setback area and an increase in tho preferred 75'-250' setback area.
