Resolution 8427, Appeal of a Variance Denial to Allow a Driveway Curb Cut <br />to Exceed 24 Feet Wide at 8382 Knollwood Drive. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated the property owner at 8382 Knollwood Drive has appealed a <br />variance denial from the Planning Commission. She reported that the driveway at 8382 <br />Knollwood Drive was currently 34 feet wide and the City currently limits driveway curb cuts to <br />24 feet. She indicated that the driveway was installed in the late 1970’s with a 34 foot width. <br />She explained that as the City’s street improvement project has been completed all driveways <br />were being brought into compliance with City Code. For this reason, the Planning Commission <br />recommended denial of the variance request on a 4-2 vote. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller asked what the driveway looks like today. Planning Associate Heller <br />discussed how the driveway looked noting the curb has been poured at the 34 foot width which <br />will be amended based on the Council’s decision. <br /> <br />Council Member Hull questioned how the driveway would look with a 24 foot curb cut. <br />Planning Associate Heller reported this would depend on where the applicant chose to place the <br />curb cut. She believed that the driveway would be saw cut and angled.
