Planning & Zoning Board <br />January 9, 2019 <br />Page 4 <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br />The Board and staff discussed specific parcels with multiple vehicles parked on the <br />property. <br /> <br />Driveway Widths <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala explained current driveway requirements. The City limits driveway <br />widths to 26’ at the public right of way. The driveway can increase in width at a 45 <br />degree angle. <br /> <br />Mr. Evenson, Ms. Peacock, and Mr. Laden agreed with 26’. Mr. Laden suggested <br />educating contractors and homeowners. <br /> <br />Mr. Stimpson acknowledged the move towards more sidewalks and an issue arises <br />when people park on sidewalks in the 12’ area. <br /> <br />Chair Tralle said he would like the driveway to go the width of the garage. Mr. <br />Grochala explained there is not a standard for garage width and there needs to be a <br />driveway standard. Chair Tralle suggested 30’. <br /> <br />Mr. Stimpson stated that this issue needs to be caught before the house in the hands of <br />the homeowners. <br /> <br />Mr. Evenson asked how many driveways get cut. Staff noted that 5-6 driveways get <br />cut each year. There were 500 driveways permits were pulled in the last 5 years. <br /> <br />Staff detemined there was not enough support to propose a change at this time. <br /> <br />Metal Roofs <br /> <br />Mr. Laden and Mr. Root suggested allowing exposed fasteners if they are color <br />matched. <br /> <br />Mr. Stimpson and Ms. Peacock disagreed with having exposed fasteners. <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala stated that most cities allow standing seam but staff will research. <br /> <br />Mr. Stimpson noted the difference on who is able to install exposed and un-exposed <br />fasteners. <br /> <br />C.
