There is no <br /> hardship to grant a hardcover variance as the property is already considerably maxed <br /> out on hardcover. Additionally, Staff finds that although the location of the entrance <br /> monuments may be reasonable considering the distance from the paved County road, <br /> the gate setback is not. The purpose for the 40 foot setback from the roadway is to <br /> allow for stacking off the roadway when the gate is closed. A truck with a boat trailer <br /> pulling into the property would be well into Tonkawa Road with the gate at the proposed <br /> location. When a gate is proposed all of the calculations have to assume the gate is <br /> closed. <br /> Issues for Consideration <br /> Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br /> Staff Recommendation <br /> Planning Staff recommends the following: <br /> 4. Approval of the setback variance for the entrance monuments. <br /> 5. Denial of the hardcover variance. <br /> 6. Denial of the setback variance to allow the gate. <br />
