" 8. #07 -3251 MANDEEP & LEISA SODHI, 4080 DAHL ROAD — VARIANCES Mandeep and Leisa Sodhi, Applicants, were present. Turner stated the applicants are requesting a setback variance to allow the existing deck to remain as constructed with a 0.76 foot setback from the side property line when a ten foot setback is required, to have the existing patio remain as constructed with a 1.7 foot setback from the side property line when a two -foot setback is required, and to have 27 plus percent hardcover in the 75 -250 foot zone when the maximum is 25 percent. Turner stated the Planning Commission reviewed this matter in February and made no recommendation regarding the hardcover variance because hardcover calculations were not available for the property before the deck was reconstructed. City tiles contained a survey from 2001 that showed the hardcover on the site. Consideration of this application was delayed while the Applicant's surveyor completed hardcover calculations based on this survey. Turner noted the calculations received do not properly classify landscape beds underlain by weed control fabric as hardcover. Staff recommends the Council consider the changes in hardcover made in conjunction with the deck • reconstruction separately from the issue of the fabric under the landscape planting beds.
