<br />REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION <br /> <br />DATE: 06/09/99 <br />ITEM NO: 6(b) <br /> <br /> <br />Manager Approved: Agenda Section: <br />PUBLIC HEARINGS <br />Russell Dansare driveway setback variance for property located at 2752 <br />Matilda Street (PF3120). <br /> <br />1.0 - REQUESTED ACTION <br /> <br />1.1 Russell Dansare is requesting a 17 foot variance from Section 703.04 of the City Code to <br />reduce the required driveway access point setback from a street corner from 30 feet to 13 <br />feet. <br /> <br />2.0 BACKGROUND <br /> <br />2.1 Mr. Dansare owns the property located at 2752 Matilda Street. The property is zoned R- <br />1, Single Family Residential, and the Comprehensive Plan identifies the property as Low <br />Density Residential. <br /> <br />2.2 The City's Pavement Management Program and the reconstruction of Matilda Street have <br />prompted the variance request. <br /> <br />2.3 The proposed reduction of this setback would enable Mr. Dansare to maintain his <br />driveway in its exact location. <br /> <br />3.0 STAFF COMMENT <br /> <br />3.1 Section 703.04B(4) requires a minimum driveway access point setback from a street <br />corner of 30 feet. Based on the proposal a variance is necessary to allow the existing <br />driveway to remain. <br /> <br />3.2 The Pavement Management Program and its reconstruction of Matilda Street have <br />initiated this request. <br /> <br />3.3 Section 1013.02 requires the applicant to demonstrate a physical hardship and to <br />demonstrate that no practical alternatives exist that would reduce the need for a variance. <br /> <br />3.4 Relocating the access point to meet the 30 foot setback would require major <br />modifications to the existing driveway as it extends to the garage. <br /> <br />PF3120 - RPCA (06/09/99) - Page 1 of2 <br /> <br />f1\ ' rA..
