Little Canada Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council 26 March 1982 Page Three The following items were noted in reviewing the parking requirements of the Zoning Ordinance (Section 903.050): D.8.f. requires driveways to be no more than 24 feet in width. It would not appear to be a problem to narrow the driveway from 28 feet to the 24 foot requirement. D.8.j. limits the number of driveways (curb cuts) to one per 125 feet of street frontage. Due to the necessity of having two parking areas, the applicant needs two driveways. Given the topography of the site plus the realization that additional development on Jackson Street will be extremely limited, a variance to allow a second driveway may be justified. If approved, however, it is suggested that two spaces be provided at the south side, while possibly eliminating the extra space in the main driveway. Also, some means of pedestrian access should be shown from the southerly parking area to the structure. This is to encourage use of the parking area rather than on- street parking. All required parking should be located at least 30 feet back from the street right -of -way. RECOMMENDATION Hopefully the applicant will have resolved the issue of including his neighbor's lot in the rezoning request by the time the public hearing notice is mailed out. Assuming this issue is resolved, the rezoning is considered to be acceptable. Pending review and comment by the City Engineer, approval of the conditional use permit for the proposed triplex can also be recommended at this time. As part of this approval, it is strongly suggested that the City ensure that adequate parking is required. To this end, the variance to allow a second driveway may be granted. Finally, building plans for the triplex structure should be subject to review and approval of the City Building Official. cc: Joe Chlebeck Don Carley Tom Sweeney Ed Locke Mr. and Mrs. Paul Borg 06
