2 <br /> <br /> <br />Per Section 1007.044(3)(h): <br /> <br />7. Curb Cut/Driveway Width. No curb cut shall exceed twenty-six (26) feet in width <br />within a residential zoning district, or thirty-six (36) feet in width if the property is in a <br />commercial, industrial, or public/semi-public zoning district, as measured at the street right-of- <br />way line unless approved by the City Engineer. The driveway associated with such curb cut <br />may increase in width at an angle not greater than forty-five (45) degrees. <br /> <br />Attachment 5 is a Driveway Exhibit depicting a 26 foot wide curb cut and 45 degree angle. <br /> <br />Capstone Homes, Inc. agreed to cut 8 inches from the driveway at no charge to the property <br />owner. The property owner does not want the driveway cut and is requesting a variance. It <br />should be noted in the applicant’s narrative (see Attachment 2) they state they paid an <br />additional $1,000 to have the driveway widened. This additional cost represents the difference <br />between the 16 feet and 26 feet, not just the additional 8 inches. <br /> <br />The property is zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development and is located in an urban residential <br />subdivision. The City Engineer does not approve widening of the curb cut. The property <br />owners would be required to cut out an 8 inch wide section of the driveway. They are <br />requesting a variance instead of having to cut out a section of the driveway. <br /> <br />Findings of Fact <br /> <br />Resolution No. 18-165 details the findings of fact. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Staff recommended denial of the variance. <br /> <br />The Planning & Zoning Board reviewed the variance application on November 14, 2018 and <br />recommended approval with a 6-0 vote. <br /> <br />Resolution No. 18-165 approves of a variance to allow for a 26.7 foot wide curb cut/driveway <br />width at 111 Robinson Drive. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />1.
