Since the boulevard parking space is less than five feet from the side property line, a blanket variance is also being requested. Requirement Proposal Variance Boulevard parking - 20' extension onto property from front lot line Driveway - 5'setback 8' extension 12' variance <1' setback 5' variance 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Charles Claxton owns a home at 428 Southhill Drive. The property is zoned R-1 Single Family Residential and all adjacent land uses are single family residential. 2.2 Mr. Claxton is requesting a variance to allow the continuance of a boulevard parking space, which is located less than one foot from the east side property line. The boulevard parking space on this property is listed on the inventory of boulevard parking spaces regularly in use, dated June 30, 1984. When Ordinance 962 was adopted in September 1984, existing boulevard parking spaces on this inventory were allowed to continue until roadway improvements involved the disturbance of the boulevard or substantial improvements were made to the property. Project P- 97 -02 for Neighborhood 38 will involve the disturbance of the boulevard on this property . 2.3 Mr. Claxton is requesting a variance from Section 602.06 of the City Code to allow the continuance of this boulevard parking space. The location of a mature maple tree at the southern edge of the stall presents a practical difficulty for extending the parking space the required 20 feet onto his property. Since the property has a single car attached garage, this boulevard parking space provides additional off- street parking for the property. PF#2905 - RCA - Page 1 of 3
