Zoning File #876 July 18, 1985 Page 3 3444 Eastlake Sti t - Council has ordered patio and walks in 6- 75' zone to be removed. Planning Commission recommenes that patio and wdlk near hous . of r removed, that walk between pa"-io ind lake be removed. Staff wi►' note for the record that building permits were issued for the houses on these properties without requiring landscaping, grading, sidewalk, patio, and driveway plans and that in both cases the houses used up most of the allowable hardcover; in effect, the City creat the hardcover hardship by allowing the houses to be built. By tht-same tuxen, the lots are of such high dol lar value that it would not be realistic to expect snaller houses to have been .:;ilt, remembering that it is not feasible to construct basements in this low ground. The patios in the 0-75' z,ne are a separate issue, of course, and it is clear that the applicant was given notice that no improve- ments were allowed in the 0-75' z,ane v i a the officially approved survey copy given to the builder at the time the building permit was issued (stamped with regulations) and via the original subdivision approval resolution filed in the chain of title which states ... "A'. proposed structures and additional improvements must meet the 75' ;etback from the lakeshore". Staff suggests that some leeway in 75-250' ::.--dciver be considered for these pr.oper'.ies. As far '-,e P-75' zone is con- cerned, staff would suggest that a:;j vart c:er granted for these F1operties (which are "new construction" be carr.iully reviewed es to the hardships involved and carefully weigi ed in light of thei possible effect as a precedent. Staff wilt draft a resolution for your August llth meeting --- fleeting your action tonight.
