Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron noted that some drainage problems are in the process of being resolved to the satisfaction of the City. Gaffron noted that the applicant is constructing a new residence. Gaffron stated that after the applicant applied for a building permit, he was notified that portions of the proposed improvements would go over the hardcover limitations for the property and that he would have to apply for a variance for these specific items. Gaffron stated that the applicant is requesting a variance for the deck and courtyard improvements. Saffron noted that the driveway would be constructed with a porous pavement in order that the hardcover requirements be met. Gaffron noted that the applicant's rationale f or requesting the variance is that a large portion of the lot is in the 250'- 500' zone and will have no hardcover where 30 percent is allowed, hence the total reque . ?d hardcover behind the 75' setback line will be less than the maximum allowed. Gaffron noted that this type of tradeoff has been allowed in the past where there was existing hardcover but not for new construction. Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron noted that Planning Commission recommended denial. Gaffron also noted the sewer problems.
