MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> FROM: PAUL HARRINGTON, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR <br /> DATE: May 2 , 1995 <br /> SUBJECT: VARIANCE - 7947 GREENFIELD AVENUE <br /> DONALD HOSECK, PLANNING CASE NO. 406-95 <br /> Following discussion at the April 5, 1995 Planning Commission <br /> meeting, Staff was directed to shoot elevations at the subject <br /> property in order to determine impacts of the requested driveway on <br /> drainage patterns in the vicinity. <br /> For Review: <br /> Donald Hoseck, 7947 Greenfield Avenue, has made application <br /> for a variance to allow the construction of a concrete <br /> driveway one (1) foot from his property line where a five (5) <br /> • foot setback is required by Municipal Code. Currently, Mr. <br /> Hoseck's detached garage is accessed by an asphalt and <br /> concrete drive. <br /> The applicant has stated in his application that the reason <br /> for the request is the existence of a drainage problem <br /> adjacent to the existing driveway. The drainage problem <br /> appears to be somewhat related to a City pathway which runs <br /> along the side of the applicants property. The run-off from <br /> this pathway seems to pool along the property line and could <br /> be alleviated with the installation of the proposed driveway. <br /> Staff visited 1 - - . go . . <br /> April. The elevations recorded indicated that the applicants <br /> proposed driveway would have minimal impact on the overall drainage <br /> patterns in the area. Based on the discussion held at the meeting <br /> of April 5, Staff has drafted the attached resolution for <br /> consideration by the Commission. Please note that a contingency <br /> requiring installation of the driveway per the direction of the <br /> City Engineer is included. Also, snow storage was a concern of <br /> Staff and is addressed in the resolution as well. <br /> If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to phone. <br /> • <br />
