2. J That the proposed location of the conditional use and the proposed condition under which it would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. Driveway curb cuts are to be at least 5 ’ from the propeny line. This curb cut is not on the applicant's property and therefore does not meet Zoning Code requirements. The engineer has indicated his concern that the changes may have a negative impact on the adjacent property because of grading along the property line. The engineer also does not favor the curb cut on Bluff Street because if the City ever opens or uses the area for public purpose, the curb cut would need to be moved off of Bluff Street. The applicant would then not have the appropriate grade level for a landing area at the top of the driveway. The proposed driveway cannot be contained on the applicant ’s property because of the e.xisting topography and the need to provide a grade of 10% or less for the driveway. That the proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the Zoning Chapter. The zoning issues are as follows: A. The location of the driveway does not conform to the Zoning Code. B. The subject lot does not meet lot area or lot width requirements. C. D. E. F. The west side of the property is subject to a 35' setback from platted, unopened Bluff Street. The applicant originally requested vacation of a 10’ portion of Bluff Street which was not favorably received by the Planning Commission. The existing deck encroaches into the required side yard adjacent to street. Both the proposed porcli/deck and new garage encroach into the required setback, the Planning Commission in October approved these variances, subject to the submittal and approval of the grading and drainage plan. The existing ga-age encroaches into the required street yard setback. The parking pad in front of the garage is partially in the street right-of-way. The existing hardcover exceeds the limits in the 0’-75 ’ setback. The applicant is proposing to remove hardcover in the 0'-75 ’ setback, however, overall hardcover would increase on the zoning lot. The hardcover numbers are slightly different than the numbers submitted with the previous plan, please reconsider the numbers. Please note that hardcover would be added for the driveway area near Park Drive which is outside of the property lines. U2393 Bentrott 1453 Park Drive CUP n/16/98 page- 5 “
