Kempf stated the application on Old Crystal Bay Road had a neighbor who requested that the Council approve a wider driveway and that the Council eventually approved a slightly wider driveway down towards the roadway. The McNaughton application was approved but the Council required that the applicant reappear before the Council at the time building plans are finalized in order to obtain a lot area variance. Jurgens stated he attended the August 14,2006 City Council meeting and reported that very few items were placed on the Consent Agenda. Jurgens indicated there were two applications that differed from the amount of hardcover approved,with one of the applications referred back to the Planning Commission for an after-the-fact variance on the stairs. Jurgens noted the Council approved the Schmitt application even though the Planning Commission had recommended that the plans be redesigned.
