Rahn <br /> noted it also talks about decks with permeable surface below. Rahn stated the City cannot assume that all <br /> decks are pervious. Rahn asked if the defvution of decks is included somewhere else in the ordi.nance. <br /> ' Gozola stated decks are included as hazdcover just in general but that they are saying 100 square feet,if it <br /> is pervious below,would be allowed. Gozola indicated Staff would review the decks on an individual <br /> basis. <br /> � Bremer commented it would really be pervious decks with pervious surface below. � <br /> McMillan.stated.it could be a concrete deck or some other impervious material. . <br /> �. Rahn asked whether homes on the lake that were constructed without a deck and are at the maxi.mum <br /> amount of hardcover would be allowed.to put a 100 square foot deck on,t.heir home aftez this ordi.nance , <br /> .�. .. <br /> passes. <br /> Gozola indicated under the new ordinance,they would be allowed 100 square feet of patio or deck <br /> without going through a variance process regazdless of the amount of hazdcover on the lot. Gozola stated <br /> that history has shown that cities typically will allow a 100 square foot deck or patio. <br /> Bremer statecl she disagrees with that because the City Council has not typically allowed people 100 . . � <br /> square feet of deck�or patio if they aze over or maxed out on their hardcover. � <br /> � Rahn asked if there is a house with 200 square feet of e�sting deck,whether they would be allowed <br /> another 100 square feet. <br /> Gozola indicated they would not be allowed an additional 100 square feet of hardcover. � <br /> Rahn stated in his view that is penalizing the people who did it right and allowing�the people who maxed <br /> out their hardcover to come back to the City and ask for another 100 square feet of deck or patio. <br /> � . Gozola sta.ted the City could look at their 200 squaze feet of deck and only count 100 square feet against <br /> their hardcover on their lot,which would be a credit of 100 square feet. <br /> McMillan asked where swimming pools would fall into the definitions. <br /> Gozola indicated swimm;ng pools would be considered hardcover. <br /> McMillan asked if that is included in the ordi.nance. " <br /> Gozola indicated that could be included under Item No. 1. <br /> ' Rahn commented they would not be able to Iist every sin�le item,but since swimm;ng pools are a more <br /> commonly requested item;he would recommend listing it. � <br /> McMillan stated she would move Item 2 into the hardcover exclusions section but that they can discuss � _.. <br /> that later. <br /> Page 4 of 15 <br />
