To: Mayor Peterson and City Council <br /> Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br /> Fron: Jeanne A. Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator <br /> Date: August 20, 1992 <br /> Subject: Scott Larson, 2112 Sugarwood Drive - Request for <br /> Driveway Realignment <br /> $xhibits <br /> A - Applicant' s Request <br /> B - Sid Rebers/Developer' s Letter <br /> C - Bruce W. 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 Commission, 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 final 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 ' difference 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. <br />
