The <br /> addition of the screen porch does not increase the property structural coverage above the <br /> allowed 15%, however the Planning Commission should discuss an appropriate <br /> hardcover level. <br /> Issues for Consideration <br /> Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br /> Staff Recommendation <br /> Planning Department Staff recommends approval of the hardcover variance in <br /> conjunction with hardcover removals should the Planning Commission deem additional <br /> removals appropriate. <br /> 3 <br />
