)31 ¿, REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 6-24-91 ITEM NO.: ß -- ~ Department Approval: Manager Reviewed: Agenda section: P5 ~ Consent Item Description: Sandra Armbrust and Elizabeth Hinrichs request for a minor variance at 2200 Dellwood Street. Background: 1. City ordinances require that driveways on corner lots be set back 30 feet from the right-of-way of the side street. 2. It is the City's policy to require that driveways be brought up to code or variances granted when streets are improved in the pavement management program. 3. Sandra Armbrust and Elizabeth Hinrichs have an existing driveway which is 7 feet from the right-òf-way line of Sandhurst Drive. The have requested a variance to allow the driveway to be reconstructed at its present location when the street is improved. 4. The Minor Variance Committee unanimously recommended approval of the variance because the driveway lines up with the existing garage, because a conforming location would make access to the garage difficult and would not present a dangerous situation because Sandhurst is not a through street. Alternatives: 1. Deny the variance request and require the driveway to be installed with the proper 30 foot setback. 2. Approve the variance as presented. Policy Obiectives: 1. To bring existing non-conforming driveways into conformance with the ordinance by either granting a variance or requiring that they be installed with the proper 30 foot setback. Staff Recommendation: 1. It is recommended that the City Council approve Sandra Armbrust and Elizab~th Hinrich's request for a minor variance at 2200 Dellwood Street.
