Proposal consists of a new driveway. Property is zoned A -One Family Residence. The following variances are requested: 1. A 3 ft. variance for width of a driveway; code allows a paved area the width of a detached garage as measured from the garage walls, applicant shows driveway extending 3 ft. beyond the edge of the driveway section adjacent to the garage for a maximum width of 33 ft.; Section 1135.02(B)(2)(c). 2. A 4 ft. variance for depth of a paved area adjacent to the garage; code allows a paved area the width of the garage as measured from the garage walls to extend for a distance (depth) of 20 feet from the garage doors before tapering back at no less than a 45 degree angle to the required driveway width, applicant shows depth of 24 ft.; Section 1135.02(B)(2)(c). Ms. Lieber stated the proposed driveway serves a detached garage located behind the dwelling. The maximum width of the driveway is 33 feet where it abuts the garage and parking pad. This is three feet longer than the width of the garage (20 feet) plus the permitted parking pad (10 feet) adjacent to the garage. Code requires that the driveway taper in width after 20 feet to the permitted width of 12 feet. According to the sketch drawing, the proposed taper will begin after 24 feet, requiring a variance of four feet. The Landmarks Commission chair approved a minor change for this driveway proposal. Ms. Garran wanted to have a turnaround in the driveway since they live next to the NOCS Administration Building and are unable to back out due to the bus traffic. Mr. Campbell said the only addition to the current driveway is the pad on the side of the garage. He said the improvements are being made to make the home look better. Mr. Allain believed the proposal was justified with the close proximity to the schools.
