2.3 Boulevard parking spaces are those parking spaces which do not extend at least 20 feet onto the ro ert . Section 602.06 of the City Code prohibits boulevard p p parking n g p s aces adjacent to a public street. Boulevard parking spaces existing as of June 30, 1084, have been allowed to continue until roadway improvements involving disturbance or removal of the boulevard parking area are undertaken. Section 602-06 (B indicates that variances from the provisions of Section 602.06 can be p ranted pursuant to the minor variance procedure outlined in Section � 1013.02(C) of the City Code. Mr. Dyson is requesting a minor variance from Section 602.06, City Code, to allow the continuance of a boulevard parking space, and a variance from Section 703.04 to allow this space to remain less than five feet from the north property line. In order to extend the existing parking space the required g feet onto his property, an existin g 28 foot coniferous tree and a two foot retaining wall would need to be moved. Since the roe a has a single car attached garage, this boulevard parking p p space provides additional off-street parking for the property. The boulevard parking p space extends 3 feet from the back of the curb on Churchill street, with 1 feet of 1� the space within the boulevard area and 10 feet on the applicants, property. Mr. Dyson has considered his options, which include: 1) extending the boulevard space the required 20 feet onto his property a retaining wall and coniferous tree to be moved' realigning the ddveway adjacent to the entry steps up to the house and rebuildin g the entry; or 3) removing the additional parking space.
