<br />, <br /> <br />:. <br /> <br />CityofC_. <br />CounoiI Meetiog Minules <br />May 8, 2002 <br /> <br />well as the change to corner lots that would have given him another ten (10) teet to his <br />yard. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member CaDra. seconded by Council Member Travis to aDD rove <br />the variance request for 1710 Peltier Lake Drive. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if Mr. Tratar intended to construct the <br />driveway sutfuce right away. She then said she is concerned that Staff recommended <br />approval of the variance based on the City's requirement for attached garages and <br />suggested she would like to see the driveway constructed right away because a hard <br />surfiIce driveway is also a requirement of the City's Code. <br /> <br />Mr. Tratar indicated he intended to construct a concrete driveway provided it is not cost <br />prolnbitive to do so due to the soils and water table. He then explained he cannot mow <br />his lawn due to puddling and his driveway ripples when you walk or drive on it. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson asked whether the variance requirements were applied to the <br />request. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg indicated the Staff report had outlined the variance requirements and <br />how those were applied to this situation. He then said that both Staff and the Planning <br />and Zoning Commission recommend approval. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated that most residents on the north heading east from the <br />Tratar property have gravel driveways. <br /> <br />Mr. PaIzer indicated there are some residents that have asphalt driveways. <br /> <br />Mr. Tratar indicated his neighbors have an issue with frost heaving in the winter. <br /> <br />Mr. PaIzer indicated that the City has an issue with some of its streets and noted Center <br />Street moves between 8 and 10 inches each winter. He further commented that a cement <br />driveway could break up over time. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers expressed concern with allowing the variance to <br />match neighboring properties and to match the City's code but not requiring the <br />driveway. <br /> <br />Vote: Aves - 3. Navs -1 (Nelson). Abstain -1 (Broussard Vickers). Motion carried. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson indicated she did not think the variance request met the hardship <br />requirement. <br /> <br />Page 2 of 10 <br />
