T <br /> 0 <br /> CITY OF CENTERVILLE <br /> APRIL 18, 1991 <br /> PAGE TWO <br /> The single issue that might mitigate the use of a smaller radius would <br /> be problems with snow storage on the boulevard. City ordinance <br /> presently provides for cul- de-sac lots to be 80' wide at the building <br /> set back line on cul -de -sacs. Thus, a lot on a cul -de -sac can be as <br /> narrow as 48' at the right -of -way. When a 20' wide driveway is <br /> extended to the curb only a narrow boulevard area is preserved between <br /> driveways for snow storage. Thus, additional care and effort is <br /> required by the home owner to maintain an acceptable snow free zone in <br /> front of his property. <br /> We have not, however, noted a problem in this regard. <br /> 2. Measurement of Lot Width at the Building Set Back Line <br /> The City has previously adjusted its ordinances to require that a cul- <br /> de-sac lot be 80' wide at the building set back line. The question is <br /> left undefined as to whether the 80' distance is measured on the curve <br /> (arc) at the building set back or on the chord of the arc at the <br /> building set back. As the chord of the arc provides for a slightly <br /> wider lot (3') we suggest that this measurement method be preferable. <br /> If you have any questions on these issues, please call. <br /> Yours truly, <br /> MAIER STEWART AND ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> ER <br /> John B.
