• 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 staff and <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 /> • <br /> Page 1 <br />
