They have been cited for having driveway that is too large. The driveway is already installed; feel they are being punished for the contractor's error without a good reason. The variance process is expensive and wouldn't fully solve the problem. They are asking the council for advice on solving their problem. Mayor Reinert noted his familiarity with the situation (has seen pictures). He recalled a council discussion during the past year on what is an appropriate driveway size (considering the popularity of larger garages). He believes that staff would not support a request for variance but, knowing about the specifics in this case, Mayor Reinert said he would. The council discussed in general how non-compliance in driveway width is handled. SETTING THE AGENDA The agenda was approved as presented.
