PLANNING REPORT DATE: 3 December 1986 CASE NUMBER: 1715 APPLICANT: Commers-Klodt LOCATION• East of Patton Road (see sketch) ACTION REQUESTED: Variance to Side Yard Setback PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The applicant has recently platted the two lots on the east side of Patton Road. Referring to the copy of the drawing attached submitted by the applicant indicating the existing and proposed development along Patton Road, these two lots are on the righthand side of the drawing. The larger of the two lots (at the northeast corner of Patton Road and County Road C) is occupied by a hew building under construction. The applicant proposes to build a second structure on the northerly most lot on the east side of Patton Road. 2. The proposal is to construct a common driveway between these two lots. We have placed a red dot on the sketch where this driveway enters Patton Road. 3. The alternative is to have two driveways side by side. Where possible, we recommend the combining of such driveways so as to reduce turning conflicts and increase the continuity of the boulevard green area along a street right-of-way. Where a single developer (as in this case) owns both lots, such combination of driveways is feasible. Where there are separate owners, of course, such combination of driveways is usually difficult to achieve. 4. There is normally a 5 foot setback contiguous to a property line, in this case the side lot line. A joint driveway, then, requires a variance to the 5 foot setback requirement, thus allowing for the common driveway solution. 5. The Planning Commission and Council may wish to consider approval of a variance to the side yard setback Co Lots 1 and 2, Patton Business Second Addition, with the conditions that appropriate joint easements will be prepared and recorded providing for joint access rates to the affected driveway area.
