The property is zoned <br />R- 1, Single Family Residential, and the Comprehensive Plan identifies the property as Low <br />Density Residential. <br />22 The City's Pavement Management Program and the reconstruction of West Owasso Boulevard <br />have prompted the variance request. <br />2.3 The proposed reduction of this setback will enable Mr. Goodding to retain his driveway in its <br />current location. <br />APRON WIDTH <br />Code Re uirement Current �Vidth A licant Re uest Variance Requested <br />26 feet 36 feet 36 feet 10 feet <br />3.0 STAFF COMMENT & FINDINGS <br />3.1 Section 703.04B 1 a requires a ma�mum driveway width of 26 feet in a public right-of-way. <br />Based on the proposal a variance is necessary to allow the e�sting driveway to remain. <br />3.2 Section 1013.02 requires the applicant to demonstrate a physical hardship and to demonstrate that <br />no practical alternatives exist that would reduce the need for a variance. <br />3.3 Variances may be granted where the strict enforcement of the literal provisions of the ordinance <br />would cause "undue hardship". The granting of a variance shall only occur when it can be <br />demonstrated that such an action will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. <br />3.4 "Undue hardship" as used in connection with the granting a variance means the property in <br />question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official <br />controls, the plight of the land owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by <br />the land owner, and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. <br />Specifically to this request: <br />PF3300 RCA (062601) Page 1 of 2 <br />
