Because the second <br />plan shows a larger garage, the hardcover amounts proposed in the 75’-250' setback will be exceed <br />what is shown in the above table. The amount of hardcover proposed for the driveway is proposed <br />at only 8' wide which is not realistic. Most driveways are at least 10' wide. Also, the proposed plan <br />does not show a turnaround which will be needed to avoid backing out of the long driveway. An <br />additional concern with hardcover is the proposed location of the driveway. It will not work as <br />proposed. The driveway needs to be redesigned to also serve the vacant lot to the west. <br />STATEMENT OF HARDSHIP <br />The applicants have stated that a narrow jind very long lot requires a long driveway which in turn <br />increases the hardcover percentage. <br />Criteria for Determining Undue Hardship <br />1.The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions <br />allowed by the official controls. <br />The property is currently vacant. It may be possible to redesign the house and garage so that <br />structural coverage and hardcover is not an issue. The lot area and lot width variances could be <br />reduced if this lot was combined with the adjacent vacant lot. <br />U2276 Brent and Julie Walton <br />2405 Dunwoody Avenue <br />August 18, 1997 <br />page-3 <br />—w!
