City of OR ONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. laZ_ b) This is 2,780 s.f. less hardcover than proposed in the plan received on June 20, 1980. c) This is 980 s.f. less hardcover than the 6,500 s.f. proposed in the plan approved by Resolution No. 851. d) A finding of Resolution No. 851 was that no hardcover variance was required because in 1977 the gravel driveway proposed was not at that time considered to be hardcover, in which case the total hardcover would have been less than the -n3xi.mum 25" permitted by 34.202. e) If the gravel driveway had been considered to be hardcover in 1977, the plan as approved by Resolution No. 851 would have require -nn 8° hardcover variance. f) Since 1977, the policy and interpretation of the Planning Commission and Council has changed because of reviews of other applications and now gravel surfaced driveways are considered to be "hardcover" for purposes of Section 34.202. q) Considering the 2riveway to be hardcover in both instances means that the 1980 plan contains less total hardcover than the previously approved 1977 plan. 15. The carriage house, presently in existence on the lot, was in existence at the time of the passage of applicable ordinances as well as at the time when Mr. Rhode's lot was created and given its description as presently recorded. 16. Rhode's original 1977 plan proposed conversion of the existing carriage house into a quest house. This plan was later amended to use of the carriage house as an accessory building for storage only. a) Resolution No. 851 made a finding as follows: "Mr. Rhode's proposed use of the carriage house for storage of his passenger cars and personal belongings does not qualify the house as a garage and therefore an accessory structure. The carriage house is in excess of the size limitations for an accessory use. Such a continued use of *he carriage house woull be adverse to the intent and purposes of the. Zoning Code, would result in diminution in value to the surrounding oroperty. Plans for the house show construction of adequate garage and storage space attached to the home. There would be too m.ich hardcover if the c3rri:igN house remained and the propose•_i house was cnn.irrucf�ed."
