Staff Analysis:

Basis for Appeal: Dave Lyon, on behalf of the McClatchy’s, have submitted an appealapplication, included as Attachment A, which outlines their concerns with this project. Theappellants concerns are detailed below, followed by a staff analysis:

1. The appellant recommends that staff consider the proposed 18.5-foot wide driveway

for the purpose of maintaining two parking spaces on the property.

Staff Analysis: The CMC Section 12.24.020 A. requires private driveway’s to be 14 feet in width:

“A. The maximum width of any driveway shall not exceed 14 feet as measured atthe front property line or at any point between the front property line and its

connection with the street pavement edge. A flare of a 30-inch radius shall beallowed at each side of the driveway at the street pavement edge connection.

There shall be a short return of asphalt material at the street connection for

transition of street to driveway. The length of this return shall be approved by the

Director of Public Works.”

The appellant is proposing an 18.5-foot wide driveway, which does not comply with CMC12.24.020 A., requiring a maximum driveway width of 14-feet. Staff has met on the subjectproperty with the appellant’s agent, Dave Lyon, and the contractor to review the Site Plan anddi th i di th Cit ’ 14 f t d i idth i t At th it i it
