The driveway <br /> meets the setback requirement; however, an existing parking space on the <br /> south side of the garage is located less than one foot from the property line. <br /> 2. The replacement driveway and parking space were installed in the same <br /> location as the existing ddvewa%l and parking space. Mr. O'Connor recalls <br /> Af <br /> getting permission from the adjacent property owner to install the parking <br /> space next the garage many years ago; however, there is no variance on <br /> record for this property. <br /> 3. The proposed valance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of <br /> the City's comprehensive Plan and Title 10 of the City code (Zoning). <br /> 4. The proposed variance, if ranted,will not adversely affect the public health, <br /> g <br /> safety, or general welfare. <br /> E IjgQ cf __ 0LWM ACTS <br /> 4.1 By motion, approve Martin O'Connor's request for a mirror variance to increase <br /> reduce the side yard setback of a driveway to less than one foot to allow the <br /> continuance of a driveway and palming space at 197 Fairview Avenue North, <br /> based on the findings of the Minor variance committee outlined in section 3.2 of <br /> this report <br /> Attachments: Property location map; minor variance application; written statement from applicant; written <br /> consent from adjacent property owners; sketch of property;photograph Of property. <br /> 60-day Time Limit.Application accepted on April 17, 1 998; Decision deadline is June 1 s, 1998. <br /> Prepared by: K im L.Lee,AICP (490-2236) <br /> M:\RCA\PF301 1. <br /> PF#30 11 -RCA(05126/98)- Page 2 of <br />
