Dulin pointed out <br /> 13 percent of his house currently is situated in the 0-75 foot zone,which the City does not want. The <br /> difficulties with the lot relate to the side setbacks,the fire lane setback,the sewer line,and that the <br /> footprint keeps getting reduced. The current house in the 75-250 foot zone consists of 27.5 percent <br /> hardcover and would not conform with today's regulations. Dulin stated the only reason they are <br /> requesting an additional two percent is to get the mechanicals up on the main floor. <br /> Schwingler noted the Planning Commission is a recommending body only and that their job is to <br /> interpret code.
