The plan has been revised <br />slightly since the Planning Commission review to reduce the structural footprint to conform to the 15 <br />percent limitation. The applicant has also rotated the house on the lot and it now encroaches seven feet <br />into the required 30-foot front setback on the south side. The previous plan met the 30-foot setback. <br /> <br />At its March meeting, the Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the lot area and rear <br />setback variances with the condition that the house be revised to conform to the 15 percent limitation for <br />structural coverage. <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of the lot area, rear and front yard setback variances. If the Council finds it <br />appropriate, they should direct Staff to draft an approval resolution for adoption at the May 23 Council <br />meeting. <br /> <br />McMillan asked where the 7-foot encroachment is. <br />
