The City's Engineer has reviewed j�ans. As noted within Staff's memo,the plans currently reflect structural coverage that exceeds the 15 percent limitation by 138 square feet.

Prior to City Council review of this application, the structural coverage overage should be resolved. Staff finds the size and topography of the property creates a unique circumstance not created by the applicant. Granting the applicant's request is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance and Page 1 of 11
