TO: Planning Commission FROM: Michael P. Gaffron, Assistant Zoning Administrator DATE: June 14, 1985 SUBJECT: #876 Asplund Custom Homes, 3424-3444 Eastlake Street - Revised Variance Request NOTE: Council at their May 28, 1985, meeting acted to order that the concrete patios be removed at the above addresses. Council agreed to allowing a 6' fence along the side and rear yard lot line but not 8' high as requested, and not extending into the lakeshore yard area. Council also directed that the applicant's proposal for a "deck platform" and screen porch be referred back to Planning Commission for review and recommendation. List of Exhibits Exhibit A - App,ication Exhibit. B - Survey with sketches by staff Exhibit C - Hardcover Calculations Exhibit D - Deck Platform Diagram Exhibit E - Council Minutes-28-85 3424 Eastlake Street The applicant was ordered to remove the concrete patio by June 15. He has stated that the patio will be removed once the other issues on this property are resolved. Item 1. Applicant requests to keep the portion of patio that acts as a side -alk between the access floor and the patio doors. This portion of patio extends 18" into the 75' setback area in a triangular proportion, comprising approximately 5-10 square feet. The patio is divided into rectangular concrete sections so that removal of the corner of one section would leave a jagged edge. Item 2. Applicant requests that you consider allowing a screen porch (2nd floor) at the southwest corner of the house. The actual dimensions have not been made clear, but I suspect a 10' x 10' or 12' x 12' is proposed. Please refer to the hardcover numbers submitted by the applicant, and the actual layout on the survey. Staff has calculated the lot area within the lot and behind the 75' setback at 11,270 square feet, which would allow 2,818 square feet of hardcover. The driveway that has been installed, including the back up pad, plus the concrete patios and sidewalks installed, place the existing hardcover at 3,501 square feet. or 31 percent. For the record, based on the house size of 2,033 square feet, the applicant could have instal led a driveway and fr-)nt walk and stoop totaling 785 square feet. The driveway wdh not shown on the original plans, and the applicant installed it without being aware of the hardcover limitations. He wi.%hes to add a screen porch, in effect increasinq hardcover even more, and would prefer not. to trade off any hardcover. A 12' x 12' deck would increase hardcover to about 32 percent.
