ITEM I - CONTINUATION OF VARIANCE FOR SCOTt ROTH.
The Planning Commission tabled the variance request of Scott Roth of 6394 Conroy Street NE at the
November 17, 1994 meeting. The applicant requested a 7' west side yard variance from the 10' side yard
setback requirement and a 6% impervious surface variance from the 30% impervious surface maximum.
A hard surface driveway was not included in the impervious surface calculation, therefore, the Commission
recornrmnded that the applicant revise his proposal. A revised notice was published with the following
variances requested: 7' west side yard variance from the 10' side yard setback requirement and a 7.9%
impervious surface variance from the 30% impervious surface maximum.
The applicant has advised staff that the mason for a 7' side yard variance (which would allow him to build a
third garage stall with a 3' side yard) is because he does not have a basement which would provide an area
for storage. The Commission had requested the applicant to show how the property could be developed
with a 5' side yard variance.
Associate Planner, Gina Mitchell presented the Staff Planning Report dated December 1, 1994.
Co--ts from Planning Commissioners included: paved driveway and design; design of roof; basis of
hardship; not complimentary to house; substandard lot; no basement; require gutters on west side and other
structures in area have received variances.
