Chair Rhody opened the hearing and requested Thomas Paschke to provide a verball summary of the staff report dated June 12,2001. John Jakel is requesting a 36-foot variance from Section 703.04JBlla of the City Code to allow a driveway apron in the public right-of-way to be increased from the required 26-foot maximum width to a width of 62 feet. The proposed reduction of this setback will allow retention of the driveway in the same location. The three findings recommended by the staff included: G. 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. H. 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 ifhe 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. . 1. The variance, if granted, 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. Staff recommended approval. Member Olson asked for details of the apron width. It is unusual to have such a large apron (larger than 26 feet), but the parking area can be as wide as needed while meeting the setbacks. Should there be no parking on the right-of-way? (no, the Code does not allow it). Mr. Jakel said the parking apron was needed for winter parking for four vehicles and there is a change of grade (30 inches) in front of the garage. H would require additional paving in the Jackel yard. Mrs. Jakel noted there is much snow to move in winter and this area of the road has little public parking on the street. . --.... ,-
