Upon approval of the <br /> variances the a�plicants constructed their garage addition, but were not able to constr�ict <br /> their kitchen addition witlun the one-year time period and the rear yard setback variance <br /> expired. <br /> Hardcover Variance <br /> During the 2000 variance review the hardcover calculations were incorrectly based on the <br /> entire property being located witlun t11e 500'- 1000' zone. With the renewal variance <br /> r•equest staff required an updated survey and revised hardcover calculations to show the <br /> newly constructed garage aud the addition of a pool. Those revisions were submitted by <br /> the applicants and reflected portiolls of the property within the 250' — 500' zoiie. <br /> Cunently the 250' -500' zone is within hardcover limits but including rock lined with <br /> plastic the 500' — 1000' zone is exceeding the 35% limit. <br /> Hardship Statemeut <br /> Applicant has completed the Hardship Documentation Forni attached as Exlubit B, and <br /> should be asked for additional testinlony regarding the applicatioii. <br /> Hardsl�ip Analysis <br /> In caisideri�rg applfcntioirs for variarice, tlre P[airiting Coijiniissioir sliall coitsi�ler• tlie.effect of tJie <br /> propased►�aria�rce rrpo�i tl�e Irenit/1, sufelJ�!l/il�{VG'�fQ!'L'Of IJiL'COIllH7l[ltlf��, ��rsti�tg t�nd anticipatcd trnffic <br /> carditioirs, light aiid air, duirger of fire, risk to t/ie prrblic safety, and tlie effect o�i t�alues�f property r�� <br /> tice surro�uuli�rg area.

With respect to <br /> hardcover, upon removal of the plastic liners in the rock beds the property is within the <br /> 35% limit for the 500' — 1000' zone. <br /> 3 <br />
