G - Planning Commission Minutes 2/18/86 Exhibit H - Notice to Applicant 2/19/86 The applicants recently purchased the home at 1710 Shadywood and propose to construct some additional rooms and an attached garage, both requiring hardcover variances. Henry Lindner, Builder, is acting as agent for the Palms. The original request before the Planning Commission was somewhat open to suggestion, as the applicants realized that in adding hardcover they would be asked to remove specific items. In reviewing the site plan, Planning Commission felt comfortable in granting the 10' addition to the north side of the house (see Exhibit E) in exchange for removal of existing hardcover in the 0-75' zone at 3 specific doorway locations, resulting in a 0-75' increase from 11.50 s.f. to 1200 s.f. (or from 17.5% to 18.2%). Planning Commission also looked favorablv on removal of the existing detached garage and slab, which extends over into the Rhode lot, and construction o1 an attached garage and driveway, with total 75-250, hardcover not to exceed 30% where 27.3% exists now, with the final proposed layout to be submitted before taking the application to Cour7il. The applicant actually has submitted a proposal which decreases the 75-1-50' hardcover to 26.8%, which in effect means there is virtually no increase or decrease from the pre-existing ova hardcover on the lot. Staff would question the fact that no backup apron is proposed, and recommends that a backup apron be provided for safety purpose.-, and would add about 225 s.f. if dimensioned ]5'x15', adding 2.2%, yielding 29% in the 75-250' zGr.(-.
