The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use ifused under conditions 18 allowed by the official controls: Mr. laun currently has a 32-foot wide apron that 19 provides access to the detached garage (directly adjacent to West Owasso Boulevard) and 20 driveway that extends towards the home which provides access and parking. Requiring 21 an apron modification consistent with the City Code (26 feet in width) would 22 prevent/critically limit access to the home and off-street parking. 23 24 B.
