LANDS OF LIN, FILE VAR #5-87, 11645 Dawson Drive, request to exceed the maximum development area and site development permit for construction of a swimming pool The City Planner referred to her staff report dated 5/28/87 which noted that the Planning Commission had referred this application to Council without taking any action. The report further included the following staff recommendation: that the Council adopt a motion to deny both the original and revised variance requests (original request to exceed maximum development area by 1, 602 square feet for a pool and revised request to exceed maximum development area by 922 square feet for a reduced swimming pool ) due to an inability to support the necessary findings . The report also included an explanation of the original application. The Lins had received approval for zoning and site development permits in 6/86 and a special land use permit in 7/86. The approved plans showed a pool in addition to the new residence and the applicant was requested to submit structural pool plans if they wished to receive approval for the pool . Had the Lins received a permit for the pool , they would have needed to obtain a building permit prior to 1/2/87 in 4- 6/3/87
