In addition to seal coating the entire surface of the parking lot, the proposed parking lot improvements included replacing distressed pavement in three areas, widening the entrance on Grandview Avenue from 18 to 26 feet, and constructing a new entrance on Woodbridge Street. 4.5 As proposed, the parking lot improvement met all minimum City Code requirements; however the City Engineer recommended that the property owner request a variance to allow for the construction of the new planned driveway on Woodbridge Street within the required setback in order to increase the entrance angle of the driveway from approximately 65 degrees to 90 degrees. It was the City Engineer's position that the encroachment into the required 40-foot setback improved the safety of the new entrance and the configuration of the parking lot.
