patio at the same elevation if we were to berm the eartn in That area and then pour a .. a It concrete slab on grade. dd t.ecide W ,- 1. .i go with a wood deck instead of the concrete slab. The second item is a request for 74 1/2 square feet additional lot coverage then the 20% allowed. This is basically for an outdoor roof that covers a stairway that goes to a lower level entrance. Chairman Sears asked if there was anyone that would like to speak in favor of this proposal? None. Chairman Sears asked if there was anyone that would like to speak in opposition to this proposal? Mark VanArk, 1 Continental View. At the time of the subdivision we did not oppose it. This is a much small lot than normal_ in Continental View. My feeling is that the creation of the subdi- vision was in fact an alternation of the neighborhood. A ques- tion that I have is once the setback variance is granted will it be for a redwood deck or at some point in the future could that deck be enclosed or at some point in the future could some other structure be added on to that residents. If that is true I strongly oppose it. I will not oppose it if it is just in fact a deck and nothing more that is shown and nothing in the future will be added or enclo,s•ed on that space. Lynn Kirkendall, 5 Continental View Drive. I am not here to oppose the variance because I don't want to oppose the Rieders. I would not want to do something that would cause them to not build their deck. We understand that the concrete deck could be built and do the same thing as the redwood deck as far as the end result in getting a deck. I also understand that it would be more expensive. If you take the 15 foot setback and grant a variance that means that the whole 15 foot zone along the back of the house becomes. in the future a bold site for another structure. Will this be a straight 15 foot variance? I understand that the application has to be made for a variance for the rear deck because if it is a redwood deck attached to the house it is a part of the structure. 1 seems to me if it is a part of the structure then that goes to the coverage requirements then it is more than the 75 square feet requirements. I do not oppose the granting of the variance, the subdivision was our chance to talk about it and we did not. But it did change the neighborhood. STAFF PRESENTATION: Wood referred to the staff report of January 23, 1990. Staff does recommend both variances as requested by the applicant. Chairman Sears closed the public hearing. BOARD COMMENTS: Fyne stated we need to be clear about the deck and what this is going to cover.
