From staffs perspective, there is some hardship to support approval of a modest variance based on the lot shape and the need for abackup apron to allow forward vehicle movement onto Shadywood Road. The degree of hardship supported by the lot shape is calculated as follows: 16,283 sf / 250' ■ 65.1' • optimum width for 75-250' Hardcover 65.1* X 175' - 11,393 sf x .25 - 2.848 sf-2,525 sf - 323 sf variance due to lot shape Also, thepropetty should be allowed a reasonable backup apron. The proposed apron is 261 sCbdng IS* wide and 14* deep with angled comers, allowing easy baddngmovement. StafTcan support the 261 if for t backup apron. The driveway proposed at 13' wide and 73' long, plus garage apron, has substantial room for off street parking, but could be narrowed significantly to reduce hardcover.
