B$IGt(sS AND MO$C}AN <br />Mr. George W. Plant -2- October 7, 196+ <br />and ordinance number 6~ was adopted subsequent <br />thereto, in 1961. <br />The side lot setback requirements prohibit <br />the erection of structures within a 5 foot dis- <br />tance of the side lot line. Ordinance number 6~+, <br />section 3.2, subdivision (59) defines structure <br />as "anything constructed or erected, the use of <br />which requires a location on the ground or attached <br />to something having a location on the ground." <br />Under the broad definition this would prohibit the <br />construction of driveways within 5 feet of a side <br />lot line. Further, section 1~F.2, subdivision (28) <br />requires that within all "R" districts vehicles <br />normally owned or kept by the occupants of the <br />premises must have a garage stall or parking space <br />on the lot in a location other than a required yard, <br />except that the parking may be located in a rear <br />yard to within 5 feet of the rear lot line and any <br />side yard to within 5 feet of an interior side lot <br />line. This would prohibit the parking of vehicles <br />on the driveway if there were to be a mutual drive- <br />way within 5 feet of the side yard. Practical ex- <br />perience has also shown that while the present <br />owners might have an agreement as to the maintenance <br />and use of a mutual driveway, their successors in <br />interests might not enjoy the same degree of cooper- <br />ation. <br />Ver truly yours, <br />w,/ '~~ <br />M.
