A. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls: Mr. Zaun currently has a 32-foot wide apron that provides access to the detached garage (directly adjacent to West Owasso Boulevard) and driveway that extends towards the home which provides access and parking. Requiring an apron modification consistent with the City Code (26 feet in width) would prevent/critically limit access to the home and off-street parking. B. The plight of the land owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the land owner: The City's Pavement Management Program and the reconstruction of West Owasso Boulevard has required Mr. Zaun to apply for a variance if he wants the existing (or similar) driveway apron width to remain. Mr. Zaun's driveway improvements were constructed prior to the City having a maximum apron width requirement for the public right-of-way. C. The variance, ifgranted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: The proposed six-foot variance to the required apron width in a public right-of-way will not alter the essential character or the locality, nor adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, of the city or adjacent properties. 4.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION 4.1 Based on the findings outlined in Section 3 staff recommends approval of the request for a variance from Section 703.04Bla of the City Code, to increase the required drive apron width in a public right-of-way from 26 feet to 32 feet for property located at 3116 West Owasso Boulevard. 5.0 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION 5.1 At their meeting of June 12,2001, the Planning Commission held the public hearing regarding the Richard Zaun request for a variance.
