A <br />foundation type variance is requested to allow the addition to be constructed on post footings rather <br />than a perimeter foundation. (The retaining wall portion of this application was approved on <br />November 13, 2007. This portion was delayed because the owners were out of the Country.) <br />Planning Commission Recommendation <br />On October 15, 2007, Planning Commission voted 6 to Oto recommend approval of the variances <br />subject to: <br />1. The pitch of the roof being reduced to 10:12. Rather than reduce roof pitch the Applicant has <br />reduced the height of the side walls the 10 inches. This is the same amount the reduction in <br />roof pitch would have reduced the peak height. The Applicant also increased the roof <br />overhang to two feet, which lowered the height of the eave line slightly. <br />2. A landscaping plan for screening being submitted for Staff review prior to the City Council <br />meeting. The applicant revised the grading plan to add rain gardens to catch roof drainage. <br />Shrubs are proposed along the front of the cabin. Staff thought it best to not submit the <br />revised grading plan to the City Engineer for review or ask for a detailed planting plan until <br />direction had been received from Council regarding the variances.
