The Harvey's of 1199 Elmwood Avenue have revised their plan so the kitchen will
expand into the garage. The hardcover and structural coverage for the property turned
out to be comedy of errors without the comedy. The surveyor made a mistake in
calculating the size of the house and deck in 2003 and 2008. The hardcover calculations
and staff report differ in lot size. The staff report for the variance contains a number for
structural coverage I can't reproduce. It definitely doesn't include a 96 square foot
storage shed that was mentioned in the staff report and the resolution. There was much
discussion of moving the deck three feet north to eliminate an encroachment into the 0 to
75 but the depth of the encroachment was three feet on the end of the deck reducing to
nothingl0 feet along the length of the deck. The resolution is internally inconsistent as to
what size deck was being approved. The building permit was issued for a deck that was
much larger than the applicants' initial request. The deck that was built was smaller than
shown on the permit but larger than the old deck. Based on how the building plans are
labeled I also believe there was a communication gap between staff and the architect
about what the City considers a bay that does not constitute an increase in structural
coverage.
