PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MEMO • <br /> To: Mounds View Planning Commission <br /> From: James Ericson, Planning Associate <br /> Subject: Proposed Ordinance 642 <br /> Date: Meeting of November 3, 1999 <br /> Background: <br /> Ordinance 642 was before the Commission at your last meeting on October 20, 1999, at which <br /> time staff was directed to revise sections of the ordinance as it related to curb cut widths and <br /> spacing between driveways in R-2 zoning districts. <br /> After some additional staff review, it was thought to change altogether how and where driveway <br /> widths are addressed in the Code. Currently, widths of driveways are tucked inexplicably within a <br /> subsection of the Code dealing with setbacks. It would make more sense to staff if width <br /> requirements were instead added as a new subsection under Subdivision 4 of Section 1121.09 of <br /> the Zoning Code pertaining to"Stall, Aisle and Driveway Design," as follows: <br /> • Subd. 4. Dimensions: <br /> a. The combined width for driveways and attached parking areas in an R-1 and <br /> R-2 zoning district shall not exceed thirty-five feet (35') or the width of the garage plus an <br /> additional twelve feet(12'), whichever is greater. <br /> b. Except in the case of single-family, two-family and townhouse dwellings, parking <br /> areas and their aisles shall be developed incompliance with the following standards: <br /> Wall to Interlock to Wall to <br /> Interlock Interlock Wall <br /> Angle Minimum Minimum Minimum <br /> Dimension A Dimension B Dimension C <br /> 45° 44.8' 43.0' 47.0' <br /> 60° 52.5' 51.0' 54.0' <br /> 75. 61.3' 61.0' 62.0' <br /> 90° 63.0' 63.0' 63.0' <br /> Parallel Parking: 22 feet in Length <br /> • <br />
