VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 7. _ #10 -3477 JOHN ROEDEL, 4725 NORTH SHORE DRIVE — VARIANCE John Roedel, Applicant, was present. Curtis stated the applicant recently purchased the home at 4725 North Shore Drive. In 2007 a builder constructed a spec home on the property. Additionally, the builder made unapproved changes to the building construction plans which were inconsistent with the plans approved with the variance resolution. These changes removed a second story deck and potential grade level patio under the deck and added two floors of home to the footprint. The building permit hardcover matched the variance hardcover; however, the building eliminated an outdoor living space which the new owner would like to have. The applicant would like a 75 -250 zone hardcover variance in order to allow installation of a 187 square foot paver patio. , At its July meeting, the Planning Commission voted 4 -1 to recommend denial of the hardcover variance. Staff finds that the applicant has a reasonable use of the property and the hardcover proposed is not supported by a hardship. Further, the applicant has not demonstrated that enforcing the hardcover provisions of the zoning Ordinance deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of their property. Planning Staff recommends denial of the hardcover variances for the project. Page 11 of 17
