VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br />6. #06-3211 TED CAPRA, 3534 IVY PLACE – VARIANCE RENEWAL <br /> <br />Ted Capra, Applicant, was present. <br /> <br />White noted this application is for a variance renewal. <br /> <br />Capra stated this application has been ongoing for approximately three years and that he is very close to <br />finishing his plans. Capra stated they have obtained easements from his neighbors to the north and <br />south to allow them to construct drainage ditches to accommodate the runoff. A retaining wall has also <br />been constructed to handle the runoff. <br /> <br />Capra stated due to the narrowness of the road, he would like to construct an apron to help him <br />maneuver his boat into the garage and also construct a small walkway from the house into the door to <br />the garage. Capra noted they did reduce the hardcover somewhat by relocating the house, which <br />shortened the driveway. <br /> <br />Capra commented the deck may not be constructed depending on the impact it has on the view of the <br />lake. <br /> <br />White stated the road is very narrow and in his opinion the applicant should be allowed an apron given <br />the slope of the driveway. White noted city vehicles are required to back up into other people’s <br />driveways in order to turn around due to the narrowness of the roadway. <br /> <br />Rahn noted the house is maxed out at 15 percent structural coverage and that the applicant could adjust <br />other areas rather than increase the hardcover. Rahn stated in his opinion the applicant has been given a <br />fair amount already with the 30 percent and that it comes down to choices. <br /> <br />Capra stated he is asking for less than one percent in order to make it more convenient to access the lot <br />and garage. Capra commented this is a hardship lot. <br /> <br /> <br />PAGE 5 of 22 <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 04/23/07 <br />Approval of Council Minutes From 04/09/07 [Page 5 of 22]
