Schall, 605 Park Lane <br />- Variance - Resolution <br />List of Exhibits <br />A- Final Proposal As Recommended For Approval by Planning <br />Commission <br />B- Planning Commission Minutes 5/19/86 <br />C- Planning Commission Minu+-es 4/21/86 <br />D- Memo to Planning Commission Dated 5/16/86 <br />E- Memo & Exhibits to Planning Commission Dated 4/16/86 <br />Please review the memos, exhibits, and minutes attached. <br />Briefly, the applicants wish to replace their existing 1-car end - <br />loading garage with a 2-car side -loading garage with a room above it <br />to be used as a second bedroom and for storage space. They also wish <br />to construct a new entryway on the south side of the house. <br />During the Planning Commission review of this application, the <br />neighbor to the immediate north objected to the height of the proposed <br />addition because it would limit sunlight to their deck above the <br />garage, and would create a "closed -in" feeling. A review of the <br />neighbors deck area by staff could not substantiate that sunlight <br />would be screened by the addition, although staff did recog size that <br />the addition will change the perceived "openness" of the neighboring <br />property. <br />The applicants and neigh -pent a month reviewing possible <br />revisions of the proposal which would be acceptable to both parties. <br />No compromise was reached. Planning Commission at their 5/19/86 <br />meeting acted upon the original applications voting 4-2 to approve the <br />original garage proposal as submitted, with a revised entry plan <br />--moving it further west to avoid the existing well, with concurrent <br />removal of the front sidewalk and lakeshore yard rockbed hardcover, <br />but allowing them to maintain the entire existing driveway hardcover <br />as a backup apron. <br />
