Today they are proposing a walk-otti rambler which has <br /> expanded tlie footprint fi•om whai was previously discussecl. While the new proposed <br /> home meets the required setbacics, grading has become a challenge. The neighboring <br /> property to t�1e north will sooii be redeveloping and as would be in tlle best interests or <br /> bofih p�i�:ies they are proposing a joint drainage swale along ihe conzmon Iot line. This - <br /> neighbors' application will also be reviewed at the Septeinber Plaruiing Commission <br /> meeiing. The neighbor has submitted a letter which acknowledges an agreement to the <br /> joint swale along the lot line which is attached as Exhibit I. <br /> H�rdship St�tcment <br /> Applicants should be asked for additional testimony regarding the hardship for ihe <br /> hardcover variance request. <br /> H�rdship An�lysis � � <br /> I�r cnnsideri�rg «pp/icrdiars for varirurce, t11e Pla�r�ring Coninrission s/rtrll cnirsider t/re effecl nf t/re <br /> proposed vnrirutce upnn dre/�ea/!h,snfety and ive/fnre of tl�e corir��rru�ity, �.�isting nrrd airticipated lraffrc <br /> condilinrrs, /ig/i1 rurr!air, drr►rger oJfrre, risk to t/re pttblic safety, rurrl lhe effecl on vnlues of property in <br /> Jlre surrn�urding nrea.

They have a need to be able to <br /> back in a large truck and boat on a trailer on a daily basis... The nanow width of Ivy <br /> Place and the angle of the property line make it difficult to successfully navigate a 90 <br /> degree turn .into the property with any vehicle. Staff would recoinmend that some <br /> coi�sideration be .given to allow additional hardcover for the driveway (parking and <br /> adequate turning raditts/access). Is the narrowness of Ivy Place a valid hardship? <br /> � However the 1'lanning Commission should base their hardcover allowance when <br /> considering the eniire site �s a whole. <br /> Conditional Use Permit <br /> Condition�l uses allowable within slloreland areas shall Ue subject to the review and <br /> approval procedures and criteria and conditions for review of conditional uses established <br /> in the Zoning Ordinance. The grading conducted in the 0-75' zone will be reviewed by <br /> the City �ngineer for conformance with the Shorel�nd regulations. The Engineer has not <br /> had an opportuniiy to provide comments on the grading on fihe property but is expected to <br /> do so. T11e applicants should be required to comply with the �I1g111��I•'s <br /> recommendations. � <br /> Issues for Consideration <br /> 1. Does ihe applicants' desire to have an attached garage atld a r�mbler style house <br /> cre�te a hardship? . � <br />
