Staff Presentation: Hassan begins her presentation by saying that the property is located along an interior lot on Augusta Drive in the Coal Creek Filing 4 neighborhood. The rear yard faces out onto the Coal Creek Golf Course. The property is located in the Coal Creek Ranch Filing 4 Planned Unit Development and Subdivision. It is also part of the Coal Creek Ranch General Development Plan, which was last amended in 1996. An administrative variance was granted to the previous property owners in 2019 for a deck addition with a 2-foot encroachment into the rear yard setback. The extent of the variance can be seen on the left. The applicants propose an addition to the existing main -level deck areas that would span the length of the rear of the house. The total footprint of the deck including the stairs would be approximately 594 square -feet, with 169 square -feet being a covered deck. The overall deck is 28ft long and 45 ft. wide. The deck is about 9 ft. - 4 in. above grade and the covered patio is about 20 ft. - 2 in. above grade at the highest roof ridge. Approximately 255 square -feet of the deck will encroach into the 20-foot rear - yard setback area. The encroachment area has a maximum depth of 9 ft. — 4 in., and is 45 ft. wide. About half of the covered deck is in the setback encroachment. The area in the setback allows the deck to wrap -around and connect the two exterior patio doors on the house.
