AGENDA ITEM NO. S: Consideration of a driveway .variance: to relocate the existing access drive
for Iomestead Savings at 2553 :Texas Avenue South. (94-801)
Project Engineer McCully presented. the staff .report and stated that the owner of the property is
.attempting to remove a very serious traffic safety problem that is occurring with the existing
driveway .into the .banking facility.. Vehicles are lining up to use the drive through lanes which is
backing up into' the traffic lanes of Texas Avenue. By relocating the driveway and thereby creating
more vehicle storage within the site itself, a potentially hazardous traffic condition on Texas Avenue
will be removed. Due to the limits "of the existing parcel and surrounding driveways, there is no
feasible way to meet the strict application of the driveway location criteria. Based on the need to
reduce the safety hazard of .the .current situation. and the inability of the site to .meet the strict
requirements of the. ordinance,-staff recommends approval of the variance request.
Commissioner Gribou expressed concern with thestacking of cars in the parking lot area.
Project .Engineer McCully stated that other. designs were explored by the. architect and all of them
would block parked .cars, driving aisles or store fronts. The center. was developed with less parking
required by current ordinances and cannot lose any parking spaces.
Commissioner Herring moved to. grant a driveway variance to relocate the existing .access drive for
Homestead Savings at 2553 Texas Avenue South. Commissioner Mariott seconded the motion
which passed unopposed (6 - 0).
