<br />4.0 STAFF RECOMMENDA TlON <br /> <br />4.1 Based on the findings outlined in Section 3.1, staff recommends denial of the <br />request for a variance to increase the lot coverage to 44.8% of the required rear for <br />the purpose of constructing a 28' x 36' garage at 669 Shryer Avenue West. <br /> <br />4.2 As an alternative, staff recommends approval of a variance to allow the placement <br />of an accessory building on the through lot at the rear or north side of the lot <br />adjacent to Skillman. The building should be oriented so that the side of the garage <br />wall faces north and is visible from Skillman. In addition, the driveway parking area <br />in front of the garage doors should be screened with landscaping from view of the <br />homes across Skillman facing this project. <br /> <br />4.3 Staff also recommends a variance to increase the lot coverage to 25.6% for the <br />purpose of constructing a 24' x 24' (576 square feet) garage, provided said garage <br />is set back at least 40 feet from the right-of-way line of Skillman Avenue. <br /> <br />5.0 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION <br /> <br />5.1 The Planning Commission held a public hearing on August 12, 1998, and <br />recommended approval of the James Christensen's request for a variance to <br />increase the coverage of the required rear yard from 25% to 44.8% for the purpose <br />of constructing a 28' x 36' detached garage at 669 Shryer Avenue, based on the <br />findings outlined in Section 3.1 of this report. <br /> <br />5.2 The Commission also recommended approval of a variance to allow the placement <br />of an accessory building in the front yard area of a through lot (facing Skillman) and <br />provided said garage is set back the same distance from the right-of-way as the <br />adjacent garage along Skillman Avenue. <br /> <br />5.3 Planning Commission minutes from August 12, 1998 meeting are attached. <br /> <br />PF3058 - RCA (08/24/98) ~ Page 3 of 4 <br />
