REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Department Approval: Name: Evelyn Turner Title: City Planner Item Description: Administrator Approval: #07-3285 Rob and Kristine Johnson, 1280 Bracketts Point Road -Revision to Setback Variance -Resolution Zoning District: LR-lA (2 acres) Lot Area: 1.80 acres Lot Width: 300 feet List of Exhibits: A Proposed Revised Site Plan and Building Plans B -Resolution No. 5611 C -Resolution Revising Resolution No. 5611 Date: May 14, 2007 ItemNo. 5 Agenda Section: Application Summary: Applicants request a revision to a variance that allows a pool house/storage building four feet from the swimming pool when a ten foot separation is required to reduce the separation to 2.5 feet. Background: The variance was granted to allow a 574 square foot pool house/storage building. The foundation for the building was to be the existing pool equipment enclosure supplemented with post footings. When the actual building plans were developed it was discovered that the soils in the area would not support a structure on post footing unless the posts were pilings. The building was redesigned to reduce the size of storage area so the building is now only 342 only square feet. It is supported entirely by the pool equipment enclosure. The structure is now cantilevered on both sides of the pool equipment enclosure. Balancing the structure requires it be placed 2.5 feet from the pool rather than 4 feet. The operable windows in the wall overlooking the pool are too small to allow someone to jump from the building into the pool. The steps have been redesigned as required to make it more difficult for someone to climb onto the roof. A retractable pool cover is also being installed. Staff finds the change is reasonable. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Adopt or amend the attached Resolution Amending Resolution No. 5611.
