At that time <br /> the applicant was to have the surveyor locate the well and the setbacks. <br /> • The proposed dwelling is in the LR-1B district, with variances needed for side yard adjacent to <br /> street, and lot area. The area of proposed hardcover is 3.8% over the allowed hardcover. Staff <br /> recommends granting the lot area and side yard variance. <br /> Smith asked if the located well is the reason for review, and how it compared to the review last <br /> month by the Planning Commission. Van Zomeren answered that the house has been reoriented. <br /> Smith asked about the change in hardcover to which Van Zomeren answered that last month the plan <br /> showed hardcover at 512 square feet over the maximum amount allowed and it is now revised to 403 <br /> square feet. Applicant had no comments. <br /> Hawn said it was a good design, and Lindquist said he had no problem with the plan. Van Zomeren <br /> stated the applicant's concern is to have accessible space on the main floor and it was not an <br /> unreasonable request. Smith asked the applicant if moving the driveway added more hardcover. <br /> Applicant answered that it was about the same, because the only increase is set in an extra 12 feet <br /> from street. Van Zomeren stated there was 220 square feet proposed for the deck. <br /> Lindquist moved, Stoddard seconded, to recommend approval of lot area and side yard variance, <br /> average lakeshore setback and approve hardcover on the condition there is no additions to hardcover, <br /> with an additional hardship of accommodating an elderly parent residing in home.
