A hardcover variance is also necessary due to the <br /> change in the hardcover percentage proposed. The applicants are proposing to increase the hardcover <br /> within the 0-75' zone from 7.84 percent to 8.7 percent,which amounts to 292 square feet of hardcover. <br /> Curtis noted a history and analysis of the property is outlined in Exhibit L. <br /> Staff recommends approval of the application subject to the submittal of a plan showing the elimination <br /> of the upper tier of walls to the greatest extent possible, compliance with the City Engineer's <br /> recommendations; and any additional conditions or revisions the Planning Commission may wish to add. <br /> Ms. Kist stated according to the report, it would not be difficult to revise the grading plan regarding the <br /> upper retaining wall. Kist stated she is unsure what is meant regarding the steeper slope contained in the <br /> report. <br /> Rahn stated the slope appears to be gradual in that area and that he would not be receptive to the upper <br /> tiers. Rahn stated it also appears that one course of the lower retaining wall could also be removed. Rahn <br /> PAGE 13 <br />
