Planning Associate Prososki explained <br />that even with the additional lot area, the driveway does not meet the 5’ setback. She stated that <br />Staff is recommending that the City require the driveway meet the 5’ setback requirement by <br />May 1 of 2005 and that money be held in escrow in case the new owner of 3008 County Road J <br />doesn’t follow through.

She explained that the <br />Resolution only approves the minor subdivision and requires that they make the driveway meet <br />the setback. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson explained that Ordinance 752 that had recently been <br />adopted would not require a hard surface driveway. <br /> <br />Commissioner Meehlhause asked if the curb cut needed to be adjusted. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Prososki said the width of the curb cub was satisfactory. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller reiterated it would be nice if the driveway were of a hard surface. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hegland stated he didn’t think they should require it. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson stated that they wouldn’t require it, but it’s the Commission’s preference that <br />the driveway be made permanent. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Meehlhause/Scotch.
