~ MINOR VARIANCE COMMITTEE 3.1 The request for the variance included the required application form, sketch of the property and proposed driveway, written statement from the applicant, and written approval from the adjacent property owners affected by the variance (Thomas Prokoach at 522 Heinel Drive). 3.2 The Minor Variance Committee reviewed this request on September 17, 1997, and unanimously recommended approval of a minor variance to reduce the side yard setback of a driveway to three feet for the purpose of constructing an addition to an existing driveway at 518 Heinel Drive, based on the following findings: 1. The location of the retaining wall in relationship to the existing driveway creates a practical difficulty for the applicant. 2. The width of the driveway will not exceed 26 feet at the property line. 3. The proposed variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Title 10 of the City Code (Zoning). 4. The variance, if granted, will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare. 4Jl SUGGESTED ACTION 4.1 By motion, approve Louis Stacey's request for a minor variance to reduce the side yard setback of a driveway to three feet for the purpose of constructing an addition to an existing driveway at 518 Heinel Drive, based on the findings of the Minor Variance Committee outlined in section 3.2 of this report.
