Zoning File #876 July 18, 1985 Page 2 3. At their July 15, 1985 meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed the request by the new owners, the Monges, at 3444 Eastlake Street. The Monges purchased the property from Asplund in 1984, but it is not clear as to whether their closing occurred before or after Asplund was notified of the problem. For the record, the City issued a certificate of occupancy for this ,)roperty on May 11, 1984, apparently prior to installation of the driveway or patios. At this meeting the Planning Commission recommended approval of after -the -fact hardcover and structure variances to allow the existing concrete patio at 3444 Eastlake Street to remain along with the portion of sidewalk between the house and the patio (i.e. recommended the Council to rescind their May action) under the following conditions: a) Sidewalk between lake and patio to be removed b) No future hardcover allowed c) Cost of removal of sidewalk to be borne by h-:ilder d) Staff and Council to review CiLy policy on fining of contractors Staff understands Planning Commission's motive in condition c) but questions whether it is a va � id issue for City to address. Note that Planning Commission ret. :.idations for 3444 Eastlake recognize that the new owners bout;:: the property under the impression that what they saw is what they get. The Planning Commission did not in their reconunendation address the deck platform 'ssue because they felt it was not a realisti.: alternative give- ie desires of the Monges and the likelyhood of iL Lecoming pern, !nt hardcover. They did briefly discuss the idea of an attached deck located near the house but did not Feel it would be useful without some encroachment into the 75' zone, and would not give the Monges an equivalent to the patio. To Summarize: 3424 Fast lake Street - Council has ordered patio in 0-75' to be removed. It has -.ot been removed. Applicant requested at Planning Commission to allow F,�rtions of patio in 75-250' to remain and to construct a -reen porch. Planning commission recommends that driveway bacf apron be removed, that all plastic -lined ruck beds b- perforated o, plastic removed, and that any screen porch be offset with removal of other existing sidewalk, etc. in the 75-250' zone.
