5.0 Planning Commission Recommendations: On January 13, 1999, the Planning Commission held the required hearing and received comment from the public. The Commission heard from neighbors concerned about the potential drainage on to their lots, and snow storage which may affect their drainage. After discussion of the issues (see attached excerpt from the draft minutes), the Planning Commission did not recommend approval of the requested rear yard setback variance proposal (3 to 4), citing the need for a physical hardship and the ability of the architect to redesign alternatives for the structure to meet the setbacks. The Commission did state that the impervious surface variance appeared to be justified as in previous adjacent site. 6.0 Suggested Council Action By resolution, approve a variance to increase the impervious surface coverage of a parcel in a shoreland management district to 35% for the purpose of regrading the site and constructing a single family residence on a pre-existing undeveloped parcel at 1240 Belair Circle, based on the findings outlined in Section 3 of this report and with the provisions outlined in Section 4 By motion, concur with the Planning Commission to deny a three (3) foot rear yard setback variance request because there is no demonstrated physical hardship, and because there are alternative designs for the structure to meet the setbacks.
