( #11) #01 -2735 AMENDMENT TO ZONING CODE SECTION 10.03, SUBDIVISION 14, STRUCTURAL LOT COVERAGE Gaffron stated under the proposed amendment, in- ground pools and their associated grade -level patios would no longer be considered as structures for the purpose of calculating "lot coverage by structures ". The original lot coverage ordinance adopted in 1989 did not include pools in the calculation of lot coverage. The ordinance was later amended six months after its adoption to include pools and their associated patios. The Planning Commission did review this amendment and was pretty evenly divided on the issue. The four Planning Commission members in support of this change would like to see it accompanied by a new hardcover limitation on all non - Shoreland residential lots under two acres in area. The three Planning Commission members against the proposed amendment feel that pools and their associated patios /decks should continue to be calculated as lot coverage by structure, and suggested that decks regardless of height should also be considered for inclusion as lot coverage.
