Allowance for Wider Driveways — Director Grochala reported. The matter <br />232 came forward after the council's review of the resident request for a wider driveway. <br />233 The report includes information on where other cities are at. He noted that the City <br />234 hasn't received very many variance requests or concerns about the current regulations. If <br />235 the council wants to amend the regulations, staff would put together an ordinance change. <br />236 <br />237 Council Member Stoesz remarked that he first of all wanted to ensure that the ordinances <br />238 are in sync and past that he feels there is interest in the community in having wider <br />239 driveways. <br />240 <br />241 Council Member Rafferty says he can see the merit in 45 feet. <br />242 <br />243 Council Member Manthey said he thought he would be very much in support of a larger <br />244 allowance but, with more thought and a look at his own driveway, he can see the <br />245 arguments on both sides. <br />246 <br />247 The Council concurred that the current regulations are fine. <br />248 <br />249 , <br />250 <br />251 7* Ri^Lake Elementary Playground Equipment Proj eet Follow up, Riek <br />252 DeGardne <br />253 <br />254 9.

He is at a different place now and he has a good <br />262 understanding about people using school facilities and the possibility of the city <br />263 collaborating. <br />264 <br />265 Director DeGardner noted the Park Board's recommendation to look at a collaboration. <br />266 He came forward to the council with that recommendation to see about interest. <br />267 <br />268 Council Member Rafferty noted that this type of proposal from a school district seems <br />269 unusual based on past experience and now there are actually a couple of proposals <br />
