A, The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls: Mr. Goodding's currently has a 36 foot wide apron that provides access to the detached garage (directly adjacent to West Owasso Boulevard) and a 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. Goodding to apply for a variance if he wants the existing (or similar) driveway apron width to remain. Mr. Goodding'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 10 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 4.0 Based on the findings outlined in Section 3 staff recommends approval of the request for a lO-foot 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 36 feet for property located at 3180 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 Goodding variance request.
