Planning Case VR02-012 <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson indicated this matter was set for a public hearing and <br />discussion of a variance from the minimum setback to allow a previously constructed driveway <br />located at 2256 Lois drive. He then explained that Staff became aware of the issue by driving <br />around the City and finding that the driveway was being reconstructed right to the property line. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that the contractor had faxed the driveway permit application to the <br />City although the application did not include the fee or note the distance between the driveway <br />and the property line. Staff sent a letter to the contractor who did not respond. An inspection <br />later revealed that the driveway had been completed between the time the permit was requested <br />and before the permit was issued. He then indicated he had attached correspondence from the <br />property owner to his contractor as well as correspondence from the City to the property owner. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated he had received input from the neighbor who abuts this property and <br />that property owner does not have an issue with the driveway. He then indicated he had received <br />another comment from an additional neighbor who also does not have an issue with the <br />driveway. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that Staff noticed four or five other driveways that were constructed in <br />a similar manner in that area. He then asked the Commission to discuss the matter and provide <br />direction to Staff as to how to proceed. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that the applicant was not able to attend this meeting as he is out of <br />town. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson opened the public hearing at 7:30 p.m.
