Regular City Council Meeting AND Board of Adjustments and Appeals Monday,July 23,2012 Page 23 garage situated 2.5 feet from the property line, while recognizing some inaccu- racies of the survey at this time for the parcel at 2253 Dellwood. Mr. Lloyd clarified that, if the garage was found to actually be closer to the lot line than the regulated 5', the subdivision could not be approved without some remedy to that situation, whether removal, relocation, a variance, or shifting property line boundaries to the west for additional room. Mr. Lloyd noted that one of the recommended conditions from staff was specifically related to this is- sue. Councilmember McGehee stated that, as long as the parcel remains residential and retained some type of garage, she was amenable. However, as things con- tinue to change over time, Councilmember McGehee sought assurances that the parcel could not be changed to provide another egress/ingress into that site, since it was in a residential neighborhood and would only create truck traffic be- tween two (2) residential homes. Mr. Lloyd advised that the safeguard against such a possibility was that the main entrance to Brown-Wilbert had a signal light; and the neighborhood to the east was smaller residential streets and a cul-de-sac; and would serve to no ad- vantage to the firm at all. Councilmember McGehee sought more of a guarantee than what staff perceived could or could not happen, with that guarantee regulated by retaining residential zoning without any future option to change that zoning designation. At the request of Mayor Roe, City Attorney Gaughan advised that, as a residen- tial parcel, any regularity for ingress/egress that would create a business use or activity in a residential area would not be allowed. However, City Attorney Gaughan advised that an additional condition could be applied to the subdivi- sion to prohibit ingress/egress into that property at 2253 Dellwood Street. Staff recommends approval of the RECOMBINATION MINOR SUBDIVI- SION, as detailed in the Request for Council Action dated July 23, 2012. Applicant Bruce Bratan, President, and Jack Ascheman, Vice President of Brown- Wilbert, Inc. At the request of Mayor Roe as whether they had any concern with an addition- al condition preventing ingress/egress, Mr. Bratan advised that they had no problem with such a condition; and clarified that their intent was to sell the home as a residence.
