orientation of the garage to have a street facing double door instead of a 3 car side loading garage. This would provide better access but may increase the amount of hardcover depending on the width of the driveway. 2.If the conditional use permit is granted for any distance between 2' and 5', Planmng Commission should direct applicant to provide scaled drawings for an engineered wall and a plan to mitigate drainage by collecting driveway runoff and redirecting it into the 10’ sideyard adjacent to the residence so that is does not undermine the retaining wall. 3.The grade of the garage floor is 3' higher than the south prop *rty line. Reducing the grade 3’ so that no conditional use permit is needed would require substantial modification to the garage 4.The Planning Commission may want to consider comprimising somewhere between the required 5' and the 2' request. The drainage would still be inadequate, however, the wall would be farther from the adjacent property and may provide more room for landscaping or screening. Staff Recommendation The retaining wall proposal 2' from the property line would provide a 24' driveway where 30' is usually needed and recommended. The proposal does not provide adequate drainage according to the City Engineer. Without the conditional use permit the driveway is limited to either a 2T as a side-loading garage or reorientation from a 3-car side loading garage to a double street-facing garage, subject to hardcover modifications. Staff finds that proposal is consistent with previous veuiances granted for hardcover but does not adequately address drainage and safety issues.
