Staff recommended APPROVAL of the VARIANCE request to accommodate a new accessory structure and driveway, based on the comments and findings of Section 5 and conditions of Section 6 of the project report dated July 2, 2008. Mr. Lloyd advised that one phone call from a resident receiving mailed notice of tonight’s hearing was in regards to questions regarding storm water mitigation; and advised that staff would advocate for a condition addressing storm water mitigation. Discussion included potential size of the garage from two (2) to one (1) stalls to further decrease the impervious surface coverage; storm water mitigation standards; grading of the site from the driveway to the proposed rain garden. Mrs. Sagert The applicant was present and spoke briefly, requesting that the garden shed remain. Chair Boerigter opened and closed the Public Hearing, with no one appearing for or against. Commissioner Doherty opined that he was not amenable to the shed remaining, based on past practice, and since the applicant would end up with four (4) garage stalls. Commissioner Boerigter opined that, if storm water mitigation was reduced to 30%, removal of the shed was dependent on reaching that percentage. City Planner Thomas Paschke briefly clarified requirements on impervious surface coverage and the storage shed. Commissioner Best opined that the garden shed was very small, and if storm water mitigation percentages were met, he would not require removal.
