What was discussed
- The applicant's attorney said coverage after the addition is about 54.6 percent including all paving, the lot has a creek cutting across the back at a sharp angle, and many nearby homes are similar in size after the expansion; the house grows about 24 percent.
- Members noted the lot is split by two zoning designations, it was unclear whether a variance was needed at all, and it was sought to avoid permitting problems. One member observed R1ZL has no coverage cap but its setbacks limit coverage indirectly.
- A member supported approval because the lot is next to the creek and runoff should drain toward it, and suggested (not required) that gutters on the addition discharge to the yard east of the building rather than into any underground system. A board question about a 705 versus 782 square-foot figure in the report went unanswered.
