RESIDENTIAL APPEALS AND REQUESTS 19-13434; Duane Limpert; 4921 Berkshire Drive Representatives: Duane Limpert, owner; Mike Shoemaker, 4915 Berkshire Drive Proposal consists of a driveway expansion. Property is zoned B -One Family Residence. The following variance is requested: 1. A 10 ft. variance for width of driveway adjacent to an attached garage; code allows a maximum width of 12 ft. in a side yard, applicant shows width of 22 ft.; Section 1135.02(B)(2)(c). Mr. Aspery said the applicant is proposing to replace his existing driveway and is seeking to widen an existing paved area to the north of their house. Code allows a maximum width of 12 feet for a driveway section in a side yard adjacent to an attached garage, whereas the applicant currently shows a maximum width of 22 feet towards the rear of their garage, requiring a variance of 10 feet. Mr. Limpert the additional space would allow him to maneuver his boat trailer easier around the garage. Mr. Shoemaker said he does not have any issues with the proposal and sees how it will make life easier for the applicant. Mr. Mackey agreed with Mr. Limpert that backing a boat through the existing area would be very difficult. Mr. Papotto pointed out that the neighbor's house is far enough away so there is no concern that a trailer will damage the neighbor's home, Mr. Raig agreed. Mr. Papotto moved, seconded by Mr. Mackey, to approve the following variance for 19- 13434: Duane Limpert; 4921 Berkshire Drive: 1.
