Motion, Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />#1141'' XARLTON GEMPLER /MARIA <br />1955 EAGERNESS POINT ROAD <br />VARIANCE <br />RESOLUTION #2187 <br />Karlton <br />matter. <br />IVES <br />Gempler and Maria Ives were present for this <br />City Administrator Bernhardson explained the applicants <br />request is to construct a tuck under garage with one <br />story above it to the back of the house, and also <br />construct a deck in front of the house which would be at <br />grade. The current house sits in the 0 -75' zone so this <br />deck would be construction would be in that zone and <br />constitute' an increase in hardcover - in that zone. The <br />Planning Commission was sp'lit'on a 3 -3 vote.- <br />Mr. Gempler explained that the original proposal was for <br />a 35' deck but has been reduced to approximately 23' <br />deck. There is an unforeseen additional 149 s.f. of <br />hardcover for the front steps raising the hardcover in <br />the 75 -250' zone from 32.5% to 34.25 %. Mr. Gempler <br />noted his hardship is that without the deck, the front <br />lawn. is virtually unusable for part of the year. If the <br />west facing deck is allowed, the sun will melt the snow <br />during the winter and it will remain usable throughout <br />the year. <br />Councilmember Goetten noted the steep contour of the <br />property and feels the applicants do need some sort of <br />deck /stairs coming out of the sliding doors in the <br />front. She felt this was a reasonable request for the <br />0 -75' zone. <br />Councilmember Callahan noted he would like one <br />additional finding added to the resolution that being <br />"The addition of the deck in the manner proposed brings <br />the property in general conformity with the neighbors <br />properties ". <br />9 <br />
