<br />~6L " <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />DATE: 6-14-93 <br />ITEM NO.: 13-~ <br /> <br /> <br />Manager Reviewed: <br /> <br />Agenda section: <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br />Consent <br /> <br />Item Description: <br /> <br />Cheryl Knowlton request for a minor variance <br />at 2055 Lindy Avenue. <br /> <br />Backaround: <br /> <br />1. City ordinances require that driveways be setback at least 5 <br />feet from side lot lines. This also applies to hard surfaced <br />areas extended to the side of a garage for storage. <br /> <br />2. Cheryl Know I ton is proposing to install a new 10 foot wide <br />cement drive stall next to the garage. This garage is a <br />single car garage with a narrow driveway. The purpose of the <br />new stall is to provide an addi tional parking stall and <br />vehicle manuevering on the property. The proposed stall <br />would be as close as 8 inches from the property line to as <br />much as 2 feet 9 inches away from the property line. This <br />requires a 4 foot 4 inch variance. <br /> <br />3. The Minor Variance Committee unanimously recommended approval <br />of the variance. It was the Committee's belief that with a <br />single car garage, it was reasonable to provide more off <br />street vehicle parking and manuevering. <br /> <br />5. All affected adjacent property owners indicated their <br />approval of the proposed variance. <br /> <br />Alternatives: <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />1. Deny the variance based on the finding that no hardship or <br />practical difficulties exist on the site. <br /> <br />2. Grant the variance based on the finding that a hardship or <br />practical difficulty is present on the site. <br /> <br />Policy objective: <br /> <br />1. To insure that development occurs consistent with the City's <br />zoning ordinances and comprehensive plan. <br /> <br />2. To grant variances where hardship andlor practical <br />difficulties exist. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />
