TO: Ororio City Council <br /> FROM: Boyer Building Corporation <br /> DATE: October 1, 2003 <br /> SUBJECT: Appeal of Administrative Decision—2530 Fox Street Driveway <br /> At the October 14, 2002 City Council meeting our request for access directly onto Fox <br /> Street for a single family residence to be built on the property was tabled. Construction <br /> of the residence has commenced per City Council approval. We would like the council to <br /> readdress this access issue and allow a driveway�to be constructed onto Fox Street. <br /> The ac:;ess for the residence at 2530 Fox Street should be directly off Fox Street for the <br /> following reasons: <br /> 1. Precedent: <br /> City staff referred to the policy adopted in 1996. The intent of the resolution was to limit <br /> the number of curb cuts and access points onto Fox Street. <br /> Since 996. �roperties along Fox Street have added access points: <br /> � <br /> • The property directly across, 255 Fox Street, was granted a second access point <br /> for the property onto Fox Street.�J �j�3 Q�P�'��v�� � E �C�r '�'rG�;�,ti ,Jc�n Ge r����,,,;o�� <br /> • Bill Kelley's Land 3`d Division subdivision, 2240 Fox Street, was approved with <br /> an outlot to be the shared access for both lots. Shortly after, another access point <br /> was pp roved directly onto Fox Street negating the shared access via the outlot. <br /> St,(.b�\UISI�� C� r�r ovP� Jc�� LC�� � �'ro c,���, �'1�� �'�e �.ktis��r�� <br /> 2.

Grade/Elevation: �, k����^5 <br /> The percent grade from Fox Street to the garage is less than the grade when access is dr�����y p�y <br /> from the shared driveway. The approach directly from Fox Street starts out flat and then tU`��' �ti�j�c <br /> rises gradually versus an immediate sharp rise in grade from the shared driveway. <br /> Because of the immediate change in grade off the shared driveway, fill would need to be <br /> removed. Retaining walls would be required for drainage and erosion control. <br /> 4. Trees: <br /> Access directly onto Fox Street would minimize tree removal. Several oaks and a stately <br /> white pine (approximately 100 years old) would be saved. Access from the shared <br />
