Variance Request – WilsonWolf (2100 Old Highway 8) Planning Commission Report; 8-18-20 Page 9 Engineering Review:  Engineering reviewed the proposed plans for the addition and had no comments or concerns. Public Safety Review:  No comments or concerns. Public Comment:  The neighboring property owner to the north recognizes there may be a conflict between the patio and their future roadway to the north. If it will not impact their future roadway, they would not have an issue with the proposal. Staff has indicated to the neighbor that construction of the patio would definitely be factored into the future engineering of the roadway, and it may increase costs. Staff Rec:  Denial of the requested 15-foot side yard variance to allow for construction of the proposed patio.  If the applicant is willing to amend the application to request only a sidewalk within the setback to connect to a conforming patio east of the building, staff would recommend approval of that request subject to conditions. Conclusion: The applicant is requesting a 15-foot variance from the required 15’ side yard setback to construct a patio for use by employees. Staff Recommendation: Per the analysis and findings outlined in the report, staff is recommending DENIAL of the request. Commission Options: The Planning Commission has the following options: A) RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST based on the applicant’s submittals and findings of fact. B) RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THE REQUEST based on the applicant’s submittals and findings of fact. C) TABLE THE ITEM and request additional information.
