FILE#05-3134 <br /> 2 August 2005 <br /> Page 3 of 3 <br /> • Hardcover Variance <br /> The applicants have revised their request by removing 1,632 s.f. of driveway, essentially <br /> an entire half of the horseshoe driveway. With this revision the applicants are proposing <br /> to construct a 340 s.f. garage, a change fi•om the original request for a 272 s.f. garage <br /> addition. The existing landscape areas on the property that may or may not be lined with <br /> landscape weed barrier material should be verified and all weed barrier plastic or fabric <br /> should be removed as part of this review process. <br /> Staff finds thlt the proposed hardcover removals are substantial and result in a significant <br /> hardcover reduction from the existing conditions. The Planning Commission should <br /> discuss whether or not the hardcover removals proposed are sufficient. IF additional <br /> removals are required, the lake side brick patio, and retaining and timber walls are <br /> possible candidates. <br /> Issues for Consideration <br /> l. Does the Planning Conunission feel that the hardcover amount proposed by the <br /> applicant meets the goals of the PC's direction at the July meeting? If not, what <br /> additional direction would the Planning Commission give the applicants? <br /> 2. Does the Planning Commission feel that the increase of the size of the proposed <br /> garage is an issue? <br /> 3. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br /> Staff Recommendation <br /> Planning Staff recommends approval of a garage addition to the home consistent with <br /> hardcover removals resulting in levels the Planning Commission deems appropriate. <br /> 3 <br />
