The <br />property is located in an R-1 Single Family Residential District, and the <br />Comprehensive Plan identifies this property as Low Density Residential. Adjacent <br />land uses include single family residential to the north, south, east, and west. <br /> <br />2.2 Mr. Dysan is requesting a minor variance from Section 1004.01 D which requires 2 <br />parking spaces per single family detached lot and Section 703.04 of the City Code <br />which requires driveways and parking on private property to be paved and set back <br />5 feet from the side property line. <br /> <br />2.3 Mr. Dysan states that the gravel space adjacent to his driveway at the edge of the <br />right-of-way helps avoid street parking for a second vehicle. In addition if required <br />to move the parking 20 feet into his property, Mr. Dysan would have to cut down a <br />28 foot coniferous tree. <br /> <br />2.4 The City Code does not allow for private parking spaces on the boulevards. No <br />variances are possible for use of the public right-of-way. Mr. Dysan's options are <br />limited to expanding his driveway by removing the conifer, realigning the driveway <br />adjacent to the entry steps up to the house, or expanding the north parking line. <br /> <br />2.5 This request has been processed as a minor variance request; the applicants were <br />able to obtain the written consent of the adjacent property owner. <br /> <br />2.6 Section 1013.02 outlines the criteria and procedure for considering a variance. <br /> <br />PF#3016 - RCA (04/27/98) - Page 1 of 2 <br />
