ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting an appeal to allow an additional 42-foot wide
driveway to a single family residence with an existing 27-foot wide driveway.
ITEM FOR REVIEW:
Section 12-2.5.D.5 “Driveway Appeals” of the UDO states that the DRB shall hear appeals to
decisions of the Development Engineer regarding driveway appeals.
ITEM BACKGROUND: An administrative adjustment was granted to the property in April 2014
to allow a 27-foot driveway exceeding the 25-foot maximum residential driveway width.
According to Section 12-7.4 “Access Management and Circulation” of the UDO, single family
lots are permitted one access driveway unless an alternate configuration is approved by the
development engineer. The combination of two driveways for residential lots should not exceed
25-feet. The total requested driveway width for this residence is 69-feet.
The 42-foot driveway was constructed without a permit and does not meet geometric design
criteria for curb return radii. Staff has requested that the driveway be removed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of the appeal.
