REQUEST FOR VARIANCE BOARD ACTION <br />DATE: OS/03/O6 <br />ITEM NO: 4d <br />Department Approval: Agenda Section: <br />BL/TRP PUBLIC HEARINGS <br />Item Description: Donald and Mary Brown driveway setback variance for properry <br />located at 3086 South Owasso Boulevard (PF3727). <br />1.0 REQUESTED ACTION <br />1.1 Donald and Mary Brown is requesting a 6-foot variance from Section 703.04 of the City <br />Code to reduce the required driveway access point setback from a street corner from 30 <br />feet to 24 feet. <br />2.0 BACKGROUND <br />2.1 Donald and Mary Brown own the property located at 3086 South Owasso Boulevard. <br />The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, and the Comprehensive Plan <br />identifies the property as Low Density Residential. <br />2.2 The City's Pavement Management Program and the reconstruction of South Owasso <br />Boulevard have prompted the variance request. <br />2.3 The proposed reduction of this setback would enable the Browns to maintain the <br />driveway in its exact location. <br />3.0 STAFF COMMENT <br />3.1 Section 703.04B(4) requires a minimum driveway access point setback from a street <br />corner of 30 feet. Based on the proposal, a variance is necessary to allow the existing <br />driveway to remain. <br />3.2 The Pavement Management Program and its reconstruction of South Owasso Boulevard <br />have initiated this request. <br />3.3 Section 1013.02 requires the applicant to demonstrate a physical hardship and to <br />demonstrate that no practical alternatives exist that would reduce the need for a variance. <br />3.4 Relocating the access point to meet the 30 foot setback would require major <br />modifications to the existing driveway as it extends to the garage. <br />3.5 The proposed variance, if granted, will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or <br />general welfare, provided standards/conditions are attached to ensure that future <br />redevelopment of the site is completed in accordance with the plans proposed by the <br />applicant at that time. <br />4.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />PF3727_RVBA_050306.docPage 1 of2 <br />
