+ YtEGULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, APRIL 14 , 1980 Page 4 38. 201 - Requires all parking to be on the lot, not CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT on the right of way as this existing area is. 4685 North Shore Drive This section also prohibits any parking in any (Continued) required yard. (i.e. the required 35 ft. deep front yard) exceptions are provided for a 10 ft. setback, but only in side or rear, not front, yards. Thus , such parking must be at least 35 ft. from the right of way. � 38. 201: R Districts - Within all "R" Districts all vehicles normally owned or kept by the occupants on the premises must have a garage stall or open parking space on the same lot as the principal use served. Garage stalls accessory to residential s�ructures may be located anywhere on the lot other than a required yard area except that such garages may be located to within ten (10) feet of an interior side lot line and to within ten (10) feet of a rear lot line subject to Section 31. 300ff. Open parking spaces on lots must have a location other than a required yard except that such parking may be located in a rear yard to within ten (10) feet of an interior side lot line and to within ten (10) feet of a rear lot line. 38. 241 in addition, prohibits any parking space from being accessible directly off any public street, requiring an intervening driveway to prevent, as in this case, direct backing onto a public street. 38. 240 Design and Maintenance of Parking Area - 38. 241 - Access : Parking areas shall be designed so as to provide an adequate means of access to a public alley or street. Said driveway shall not exceed 30 feet in width at the public walk center line and shall be so located as to cause the least , interference with traffic movement. All off-street parking spaces shall have access off driveways and not directly off of a public street. Remember too, that there are additional hill and curve restrictions at this location which further reduce visibility. Therefore, not only is the existing parking intuitively bad, it is contrary to zoning code requirements and should be abated whether or not any new driveway is built. The staff,therefore, recommends approval of the requested Rest Point Road driveway as per the March 7, 1980 memo, provided the existing parking and eastern driveway along North Shore Drive are removed and restored per the zoning code requirements and per the Hennepin County permit requirements. I suggest approval per the attached resolution. (Continued)
