Gaffron, Asst Planning 6 Zoning Administrator Date: March 18, 1987 Subject: #1120 Richard Ragatz, 1945 Concordia Street - Variances - Resolution Application - Request for side setback, street setback, hardcover variances for construction of a detached garage and future addition to residence. List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Memo and Exhibits of 3/4/87 Exhibit B - Planning Commission Action Notice 3/18/87 Exhibit C - Proposed Resolution Discussions Please review the memo and exhibits of 3/4/87. Applicant requested variances to allow a new 2-car detached garage to be located 2'from the side lot lire and ?' from the street lot line, replacing a small shed structure that abuts both lot lines. The standard t- 7 10' side setback and 10' street setback for detached garage with side -opening doors. Applicant requested the street setback variance in order to decrease necessary driveway hardcover, so that a future proposed house addition would not put him over the hardcover limit of 25%. The side setback variance was requested so that the lot will retain a more "open" character and preserve applicant's easterly lake view. Planning Commission at their 3/16/87 meeting recommended as follows: 1) Street lot line setback: 10' 2) North side lot line setback: 5' 3) Maximum 75-250' hardcover: 27% allowed (8,977.5 s.f. x .27) - 2,424 s.f. hardcover allowed 4) Existing deck in 75-250' zone which is specially designed and constructed shall continue to be considered as not hardcover. Any new decks regardless of construction/design will be counted as hardcover. 5) Given that the house by applicant's calculation is 933 s.f., the new garage is to be 528 s.f., this totals 1,461 s.f., leaving 963 s.f. to accommodate driveway apron and future proposed house addition.
