Item No: 08C <br />Meeting Date: May 9, 2022 <br />MaQ_WtSWEW <br />Type of Business: CRevie Business <br />City Administrator Review: <br />City of Mounds View Staff Re art <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Jon Sevald, Community Development Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9588, Driveway Variances related to the 2022 street <br />project <br />Introduction: <br />As part of the 2022 street reconstruction project, it is the intent of the City Code that all non- <br />conforming driveway curb -cuts (aprons) be replaced by conforming curb -cuts, unless the City <br />Council approves a Variance to keep as -is.' Staff mailed notices to 11 homeowners. Two have <br />requested a Variance (8310, 8320 Pleasant View Drive). <br />Discussion: <br />Notices of non -conforming driveways were mailed to property owners on August 18, 2021 (16 <br />properties), and April 8th & 11t', 2022 (11 properties). May 2, 2022 was the deadline to request <br />a Variance. Some of the August non -conforming driveway issues were resolved after the <br />project design was completed in December. <br />It's important to note that driveway dimensions on the plan set are based on Ramsey County <br />aerial photos, and are not 100% accurate. For that reason, non -conformities on the plan set <br />that are within 1' of conforming, are considered to be conforming. Example; if a driveway is <br />shown on the plan set with a 4' side yard setback, it is considered to be conforming. <br />DrivewayCA <br />a <br />CD <br />T <br />f <br />0 <br />$ <br />Driveway widths shall not exceed <br />~� <br />35' or the width of the garage plus <br />m <br />92% whichever is greater <br />5 <br />Front Property Line <br />Boulevard (Right of Way) 24' Aiax. <br />Edge of Paved Street <br />Wings <br />Diagram ufeonf-mingdriveiray <br />Mounds View City Code §160.338(E) (Curb cut widths); In conjunction with street improvement projects <br />or in conjunction with individual driveway replacement projects, non -conforming curb cuts shall be <br />made conforming to whatever extent practicable. If, in the opinion of the Directors of Public <br />Works/Parks and Recreation and Community Development, a non -conforming curb cut cannot be made <br />conforming without undue hardship or disruption to the property, the curb cut may remain in existence, <br />unchanged. Decisions regarding curb cuts may be appealed in writing to the City Council. <br />
