Applicant Request

The lot in question is narrow and does not have an operable alley off which parking could extend. The proposal does meet the design guidelines by locating the two car spaces at 20' beyond the front façade of the house, with access limited to one lane between the street and the front façade. The proposal allows the applicant to move forward with the proposed house footprint and design without exceeding impervious surface limits

Site Info

Revision to site plan for parking modification. Proposal does not include modifications to house's elevations, front setback, or most details of site plan (approved by Design Review Board in February 2021, 2-A-21-IH). With concrete parking pad and 100' long gravel driveway, the site plan had exceeded the impervious surface limits of the base zoning (RN-2). Instead of a 10' wide by 100' long driveway accessing a concrete parking pad to the rear, the applicant is proposing a 10' wide by 48' long concrete driveway extending from Minnesota Avenue. The alley is not operable.
