;Approved e applicants purchased the home from the original owners with a two level, 300 square foot deck existing in side street yard. The applicants then applied for a building permit to replace the deck in May and during the course of staff review it was determined that a variance would be necessary to replace the deck. Staff found no permits on file for the deck nor does it appear that the deck was constructed at the time of the home. It should be noted, however, that the home was constructed when the Zoning Code required only a 15 foot side street yard setback with the actual home setback approximately 20 feet. Lastly, the home includes a sliding glass door off the street side, which the deck would provide egress from. O'Brien asked the applicant if they would like to replace the deck exactly as it was. Shelly Peterman replied that originally that was their intent, and after they discovered that they would be in the set back it was decided to reduce the size of the deck as a good faith effort. O'Brien replied that he agrees with her neighbor that they should be able to replace the deck at the size that they originally had. Gundlach stated that the recommendation could be modified to allow an increase of the square footage of the deck to match the 300 square feet with no further encroachment into the side yard setback, which would show a good faith effort to decrease the encroachment since the original deck was closer than 11.5 feet. Motion by Zisla, second Mann to CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. 6 ayes, 0 nays. MOTION CARRIED. Schiferl stated that he supports the proposal. Mann added that she agrees that the applicant should be able to build the deck up to 300 square feet with the 11 '/z foot set back. Ootion by Mann, Second by O'Brien to APPROVE VN2007-002, WITH THE FOLLOWING CHANGE: The applicant has proposed to reduce the amount of deck within the setback area in an effort to better comply with the intent of the ordinance." 6 ayes, 0 nays. MOTION APPROVED. Public Hearing: PUD2007-004 Amendment to PUD2007-003 to allow increased building square footage. The applicant has requested a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment to allow increased building square footages for both the headquarters building and the secondary multi-tenant building. The applicant received PUD approval on April 26, 2007 that allowed construction of a headquarters building totaling 48,787 square feet and a multi-tenant building totaling 9,048 square feet. A major component to the approved PUD included allowance of surface parking stalls less than what is required under Chapter 11 of the Zoning Code. On April 26, 2007 the applicant received PUD, Site Plan, and Special Use Permit approval allowing for development of an office site on the west side of Old Highway 8 NW within the Northwest Quadrant. The PUD allowed building and parking setback reductions from those required under the MX, Mixed Use District and the Special Use Permit allowed increased building height, as outlined within the MX regulations. Schiferl inquired from staff and the developer why the building was increased in size since there was so much discussion when they first came through the Commission regarding the lack of parking and how tight the space &uld be. Gundlach replied that the PUD declaration will be tied to the title which will indicate the constraints of the site, there is some additional on street parking that can be used, and they have also done a proof of parking plan that could be implemented if necessary.
