There <br />is no provision to allow for driveways to be built at a lesser setback when the garage <br />is being moved deeper into the property. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff recommends that language be incorporated into the driveway section to allow <br />for a driveway to be built at a lesser setback when a detached garage is being <br />replaced under the conditions listed above. This language would make the code <br />consistent with the intent of the planning commission when they adopted the <br />changes to the garage code two years ago. <br />The language would read (addition in bold): <br />9-14.01 subd. 18 Driveways <br />(c) Setbacks <br />(1) Driveways must be at least five feet from any rear or side lot <br />line except when a garage is being replaced at a side yard setback of less than <br />five feet under the conditions of Section 9-2.04 subd. 1 (c) (2). Under this <br />circumstance, the driveway may be extended at an interior side yard setback <br />of less than five feet, provided that the new driveway does not encroach <br />further into the side yard than the existing driveway. In no case may the new <br />driveway be set back less than two feet from the interior side lot line. <br />• <br />
