INFORMATION MEMORANDUM ONLYr TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL r ), FROM: PAUL HARRINGTON, PLANNER lu` j DATE: September 24, 1992 /14t), /a SUBJECT: WAIVER OF FEE FOR VARIANCE 7640 WOODLAWN DRIVE Lyle Johnston contacted me earlier this week to discuss the possibility of adding additional driveway surface at 7640 Woodlawn Drive. Mr. Johnston stated that the need for additional driveway space was a result of the recently adopted City Ordinance restricting on-street parking. Currently, Mr. Johnston is the owner/occupant of a duplex which has single stall garages and drives for both units . Following a review of City requirements, staff informed Mr. Johnston that he could expand the driveway surface provided he maintained a five (5) foot setback from all side and rear property lines. Mr. Johnston stated that he would be unable to maintain the five foot setback and asked what alternatives he had. Staff • informed him that he could apply for a variance to allow placement of the driveway at: less than the required setback. Additionally, staff informed him of the application, fee, timetable and criteria by which all variances are processed and reviewed. Mr. Johnston stated that he did not feel he should be required to pay the fee because he was only trying to provide himself and his tenant parking in light of the on-street parking restrictions adopted by the City Council. Mr. Johnston asked if he could ask for a waiver of the required fee and was informed that upon approval of the City Council, the fee could be waived. Mr. Johnston has informed staff-that he will be--at-the-September 28, 1992 City Council Meeting to present his case and ask for waiver of the fee associated with a variance application. Staff has provided this item as background information. cc: Ric Minetor, City Engineer Samantha Orduno, City Administrator
