Planning Commission Memo <br />TO: Planning Commissioners <br />FROM: James Ericson, Planning Associate <br />RE: Special Planning Case No. SP-063-98 <br />Proposed Municipal Code Amendment <br />DATE: June 17, 1998 <br />To address a variety of issues that confront Community Development regarding garages, <br />driveways, parking areas and to make administration of the Code more effective for both staffand <br />residents, we have put together a package of interrelated amendments for the Planning <br />Commission's review. <br />Explanation of Proposed Changes by Section: <br />607.06: OUTSIDE PARKING AND STORAGE: <br />Vehicles would be required to be parked upon an improved surface which would be defined as <br />asphalt, concrete, brick or Class 2 gravel, with a reference to other sections of the Code <br />pertaining to parking and parking areas. <br />902.05: DRIVEWAY CONSTRUCTION: <br />This differentiates between a driveway and a parking surface. Driveways shall be of a permanent <br />surface -- gravel would not be allowed. Parking off of the drive or alongside can be gravel - -Class 2 <br />gravel -- subject to specifications in Section 1121.09. This also adds construction guidelines for <br />brick drives, which is not currently addressed in the Code. <br />1005.06: EXTERIOR AND STRUCTURAL STANDARDS: <br />This clause says that driveways surfaces shall be permanent and that except for R -1 and R -2 <br />properties, driveways and parking areas shall be maintained year round and kept free from snow <br />and other unsafe conditions. <br />Page 1 <br />
