Board of Adjustment Meeting Minutes March 15, 2017 Page 3 of 4 Ritchie replies saying that when you do a PUD, you can deviate from the zone standards; however in this case, they were silent in regards to the lot coverage on the PUD document. So because of this, staff must default back to the code. DeJong asks what the red hatched area is on the lot coverage image in the PowerPoint presentation. Ritchie says that the lighter hatch is the covered porch area and the solid area is the enclosed space. Ewy says that because staff alluded to the RL zone district, is it staff's opinion that this PUD as a whole would be most like an RL zone district? Ritchie says this development is more in line with the standards that are found in RL. She believes it is an equivalent comparison. Applicant Presentation: Steve Perce, BLDG. Collective Architecture and Design, 1493 Brown Circle, Boulder, CO. Perce stated he is the owner of BLDG. Collective Architecture and Design and representing the applicant. The applicant's goal with the addition is to make it more functional and modern. The applicant wants to create a bump out on the east side to create a small work space in the garage. The majority of the square footage will be used for the kitchen remodel. The applicant feels that the additional 3% square footage is the only necessary square footage needed for the home. Commission Questions of Applicant: None heard. Public Comment in Favor: None heard. Public Comment Against: None heard. Summary and request by Staff and Applicant: None heard. Closed Public Hearing and discussion by Commission: Stuart believes this is a modest and reasonable addition to the neighborhood. He agrees with all the criteria staff mentioned in the presentation. Ewy mentions that knowing it is a similar neighborhood to the RL zone district helped with the analysis of the requested variance of lot coverage. DeJong believes that Staff's report was thorough and well -reasoned, and he agrees with Staff's conclusions. The variance should be approved.
