Schmitt, Architect's Letter <br />D - William R. Bonner, Charles Cudd Construction Letter <br />(Owner of Parcel to Immediate West) <br />E - Survey Approved with Building Permit <br />F - Proposed Driveway Realignment <br />G “ Supplemental Sheets to Building Permit Applications for <br />Residential Construction within Sugar Woods Plat <br />H - Location Map <br />At the August 17th meeting of the Planning Comm•ssion, Mr. Larson made <br />a special appeal to the Planning Commission to review a driveway <br />realignment request realizing that he had not followed the appropriate <br />procedure process established by both City and developer. Mr. <br />Larson's problem is that he plans to complete and present his home for <br />review during the fall Parade of Homes in mid-September. The next <br />meeting of the Planning Commission on September 21st would be too late <br />to complete driveway installation and finil landscaping. <br />Please review Exhibit A. Mr. Larson notes the specific <br />characteristics of the lot that would necessitate a driveway <br />realignment reviewed as follows: <br />1. No further trees to be removed in front street yard. <br />2.Minimizes land alterations as existing more graduated grades <br />are utilized in front yard. <br />3.Aesthetic impact of a straight driveway alignment on a house <br />of this magnitude and also impacts a desired natural setting <br />of overall project. <br />4. Straight alignment would result in safety concerns as of a <br />6' difisrence in elevations from road to garage door. <br />The Planning Commission denied Mr. Larson's request 3-1. Denial was <br />based predominately on the fact that Mr. Larson had adequate time to <br />prepare for an application before the Planning Commission. Merits of <br />the request were not considered.
