Rascher noted <br /> there is another property with a steep driveway and he is not aware of any issues with that driveway. <br /> Rahn stated one issue with the driveway is the inability for a large car to park in the driveway without <br /> encroaching onto the neighboring property and that the second issue deals with the desire of the Planning <br /> Commission to obtain the recommendations of the City Engineer prior to voting on this application. <br /> Hessburg stated the driveway could be move further westward to help address those issues. <br /> Bremer closed the public hearing at 7:07 p.m. <br /> Rahn stated the fewer variances that are requested,the more favorably the application would be looked at. <br /> Rahn moved,Bremer seconded,to table Application#06-3234 and Application#06-3235,Daniel <br /> Hessburg,4725 North Shore Drive and 4731 North Shore Drive.
