He presented architectural drawings of the 3 proposed porte-cochere and stated the porte-cochere would match the building,provide more 4 defused lighting, and create a more welcoming entrance that provides safety to residents. He 5 indicated this would be a permanent structure and would allow clearance of 14' to allow fire 6 truck access. He added that they intend to complete a survey of the area prior to proceeding with 7 construction. 8 9 Chair Jensen asked if they have been able to have a porte-cochere that close to the right-of-way 10 in other locations. He also asked if they have considered using heated pavement in the drop-off 11 area. 12 13 Mr. Plutowski replied that they completed a similar project four years ago in Montana. He also 14 stated that they have not discussed using heated pavement but would consider it particularly if 15 they cannot solve the grade issue. 16 17 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes stated that she spoke with the Fire Marshal and he 18 expressed concern about the height and whether they would be able to get a fire truck under the 19 structure. She added that the Fire Marshal has considered striping and signing the west side of 20 the island as a fire lane to keep traffic out. 21 22 Commissioner Cincoski felt that the porte-cochere is aesthetically very attractive. 23 24 5. KIM AND DON PAVELKA—3205 36'" AVENUE NE 25 26 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes advised that she met with Kim Pavelka who provided a 27 sketch of the proposed garage addition. She stated that the property meets the 15' total side yard 28 setback requirements and the property owners are proposing to build a 6' x 22' addition, 29 increasing the footprint to 1,128 SF and leaving them with lot coverage of 12%. She explained 30 that they would need a garage setback permit because they propose to build into the setback on 31 the side yard. 32 33 Mr. Don Pavelka, 3205 36`h Avenue NE, appeared before the Planning Commission and stated 34 that they would like to increase the size of the garage to accommodate two cars. 35 36 Chair Jensen indicated that the encroachment for eaves is 30" and the sketch has an overhang at 37 2' off the side of the building or 3' from the lot line, so that eave should be 6"rather than two 38 feet in order to not require another variance, which is desirable. He stated that at the time of the 39 variance request, the property owner should include a survey. He added that it would also be 40 helpful to ask the surveyors to dimension to the property's structure edge and include dimensions 41 both from the property's structure and the neighbor's structure. He requested that the drawing 42 also clarify whether the driveway area will be increased and to include a drawing of the front of 43 the building. 44 45 IX. REPORTS FROM STAFF. 46
