RE: REQUEST TO INCREASE RESIDENTIAL CURB CUT FROM 28 FT. TO 40 FT.
Thank .you for the opportunity to vary from the city code to
accommodate an increase curb cut at my home. It is my
understanding -that the city has a limitation of 28 feet of curbing
that moray be cut to facilitate driveways per residential lot. This 28
foot maximum was arrived at some years ago when the average lot
size :was 5,000 square feet and the average home was' 1,000-1800
square feet heated. It is my understanding that drainage and
safety factors will not `be compromised by the curb cut, and the
only reason the curb limitation.exists is for consistency.
My lot in Emerald Forrest is close to twice the $5,000 square foot
size. My home is 3,250 square feet with a four car garage totaling
an additional 1,000 square feet. The two, wo-car-garage doors are
18 feet wide and are separated by a two foof'brick space in the
middle.. It is my understanding that to accommodate this situation,
a 40 foot curb cut would be necessary. Also, to further complicate
this situation, an old, very large oak tree is situated in the middle
of a garage door. It is in my best interest and all parties
concerned, to take the appropriate steps to save and preserve this
tree.
The facts are that houses, lots, and garages are larger now and I
am .attempting. to save a large tree. I request that the City of
College. Station allow an increase of curb cut to 40 feet foa my drive
way located at 8401 Spring Creek. (The drive way will open onto
Crystal Oak.)
