<br />REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION <br /> <br />DATE: 06/09/99 <br />ITEM NO: 6(e) <br /> <br /> <br />Manager Approved: <br /> <br />Agenda Section: <br />PUBLIC HEARINGS <br />property located at 2771 <br /> <br />Edward Her driveway setback variance for <br />Woodbridge Street (PF3127). <br /> <br />1.0 REQUESTED ACTION <br /> <br />1.1 Edward Her is requesting a 22.8 foot variance from Section 703.04 of the City Code to <br />reduce the required driveway access point setback from 30 feet to 7.2 feet. <br /> <br />2.0 BACKGROUND <br /> <br />2.1 Mr. Her owns the property located at 2771 Woodbridge 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 Woodbridge Street <br />have prompted the variance request. <br /> <br />2.3 The proposed reduction of this setback would enable Mr. Her to maintain his driveway in <br />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 Woodbridge 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 may impact two mature trees and <br />potentially require their removal. <br /> <br />PF3127 - RPCA (06/09/99) - Page I of2 <br />
