<br />Woods Variance Appeal <br />June 9, 2003 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The new driveway addition (identified with the dashed lines) has already been completed. <br />The applicant indicated she was unaware that a permit was necessary to complete the work. <br />When the applicant was notified of the need for a zoning permit, it was discovered that the <br />addition was in violation of the Zoning Code and a variance would be necessary to allow the <br />addition to remain. <br /> <br />There are two issues to consider in regards to this request: <br /> <br />1. The curb-cut width -- The width at the point where the driveway and street meet. <br />2. The driveway width -- The width at any point of the driveway. <br /> <br />Curb-Cut Width. As shown on site plan above, the driveway was expanded to include a new <br />section of pavement located at the southwestern portion of the driveway adjacent to <br />Woodlawn Drive. The new section increased the curb-cut width at the street from 26 feet to <br />41 feet. According to Section 1121.09, Subd. 5(b) of the Zoning Code, the maximum curb cut <br />width allowed in an R-2 zoning district is 32 feet. The driveway, including the expansion, is <br />41 feet, nine (9) feet greater than allowed. <br /> <br />NEW <br />W O O D L A W N D R I V E
