1 �1 t � <br /> Item#11-CCAgenda-11/11/06 <br /> Hessburg stated they did consider that but it did not allow for any off-sti•eet parking and that it woi�c�4re5C�lre�Pages 94J <br /> vehicles to back up onto the coui�ty road,which poses a safety concern. <br /> Gaffi•on pointed out there would also Ue an eight or ten-foot drop in elevation,which would result in a 30 percent . <br /> slope. Gaffron sfated tlie tl�ird garage stall on tlie easterly lot would need to meet a 30-foot setback and would <br /> require a va�•iance. <br /> Rahn stated if the engineer deemed it more appropriate to encroach into the unimproved street,he would not be <br /> opposed to that. <br /> Bremer pointed out the hardcover on the 4725 lot is at 41 percent in the 75-250 foot zone and that the hardcover <br /> should be reduced. Bremer stated it is likely the Planning Commission would allow some amount of hardcover over <br /> tl�e 25 percent limit given the topography of tl�e lot, but that it would be difficult to approve 41 percent. <br /> Hessburg gave an example of a house that he l�as recently constructed with ouly a two-car garage and how it has <br /> been extremely difficult to sell. Hessburg nofied the 37-foot piece of land cannot be solci separately and must be <br /> attached to one of the two lots. <br /> Jurgens stated there is enough buildable area between the rear•setback line and the bluff line that a different <br /> configuration for the house would work. <br /> Rahn stated he would not be in favor of the third garage stall and suggested that the applicant consider a two-story <br /> house rather than a rambler for this site. <br /> Bremer concurred with the comments of Commissioner Rahn. <br /> Jurgens noted the shared driveway cannot be nioved fiirther west <br /> Hessburg stated tliey l�ave had four different surveys conducted and tl�ree different house plans created 'ul an attempt <br /> to design a house on each of these lots that meet the City's requirements. Hessburg reiterated that it is difficult to <br /> sell a house at tl�is price with only a two-car garage. <br /> Bremer stated allowing some variances on the westerly lot is reasonable but that the footprint for the house on the <br /> easterly lot should be reduced. <br /> Kempf stated for the larger of the two hoines,the garage jogs to the east four feet,whicl�adds additioilal hardcover <br /> for the driveway,and that if the shared driveway were relocated to the west fottr feet,that would l�elp to reduce the <br /> hardcover aud allow for some parkiug in fi•ont of the garage. <br /> Hessburg stated that could be redesigned. <br /> Rahn stated the hardcover on the larger lot should be reduced and that the plans sliould be revised. <br /> Hessburg expressed a concern that his application would Ue delayed another montli. Hessburg stated l�e wanted to <br /> start coiistruciion this fall. <br /> Rahi�stated if the app(ication were moved forward to the City Council,there is the possibility that the City Council <br /> may elect to send tl�e application back fio the Planning Commission if the plans are revised siguificantly, which <br /> would cause the applicant to lose even more time. Rahn inquired whether the City Engineer has had an opportunity <br /> to review the revised plans. <br /> Curlis stated to her kuowledge the city engineec•has not reviewed the i•evised pla�is. <br /> Kroeger expressed doubt that the City Council would approve 41 percent hardcover for this lot. <br /> 4 <br />
