Smith stated if the applicant would wan to build something they would have to come back to the variance board for approva:J and this should be flagged at the time of building permit. Franklin stated that a copy of the paper work would be included in the building permit file for reference. Sears asked if handrails would be put in. Hartronft stated no. We are only talking about 18 inches. Sears asked how big the redwood deck is? Hartronft stated it is about 10 feet out and 8 feet over. About 150 square feet. Sears asked when there is a road to the side of the a lot what is the setback? Wood stated the sideyard setback to the street is 30 feet from the public right of way, but this is a private one. Sears asked if this was replatted? Was it a replat of the original Continental View. Hartronft stated this was never part of Continental View. This was a new annexation and subdivision not a replat. Smith moved to grant the variance for the backyard setback to fifteen feet from the 25 foot requirement for uncovered redwood deck and to include no more than the proposed envelope 150 square feet+, and the height to be no more than 18 inches not including the bench that is proposed, seconded by Fyne. By Roll Call Vote motion passed 5-0. Sears stated he had a concern with the fact that no alternation was made to the house for the roof and the deck. I do have a problem with the lot and the size of the house that is on it, doesn't go along with rest of the neighborhood. My major objection is that this just doesn't fit in. Smith moved to approve the variance for an increase of .59% on the lot coverage which will include the rear deck and the covered steps, seconded by Fyne. Smith stated that the lot coverage is already there with the wall being there, so the addition of a roof is just going to be a hardship for the owner. If the neighbors are willing to live with the additional cover, by not passing this we are only hurt- ing the owners. Sears felt that the board should have looked at this issue sooner than they have.
