In reviewing the survey it appears your plan is to expand a new portion of the driveway consistent with the existing driveway. According to City Code Section 78-967(b)(3) no grading or alterations within 5 feet of the property line. A copy of the code section is attached. Attached is a copy of the survey showing the approved driveway location at the time of the home's construction in 1994; there was no as-built survey requirement at that time. This proposal reflects a driveway 5 feet off of the property line; it appears from the submitted survey the existing driveway was not constructed according to the approved plans and was built right up to the adjacent property line. Ideally, the City would prefer the existing driveway to be modified so that it conforms to the required, 5-foot setback. However, while the existing driveway will be allowed to remain as it exists; the new expansion cannot be approved in a nonconforming area. Please revise the plans to reflect the proposed driveway 5 feet from the property line and submit the information so our plan review can continue. Please feel free to contact me at 952.249.4620 or by email at cmattson@ci.orono.mn.us if you have any questions.
