REQUEST FOR VARIANCE
LOCKWO
OD
The following variance from City Engineering Standards are requested for the Pedersen Auto
Plaza development, located at South Mason Street & Kensington. The variance request and
explanation for the request is as follows:
A variance is requested to allow a larger turning radii for the entrance drive. A 15 foot
radius is standard at most entrance drives, however, Pedersen Auto Plaza will be
receiving shipments of new cars loaded on semi tractor -trailer trucks, radii of 20 feet
is proposed. The entrance must accommodate the wide turn requirements of these
larger trucks for on -site unloading. Off site unloading is not an option on Mason
Street.
Attached are diagrams showing anticipated tractor -trailer unloading scenarios, which
demonstrate the need for wider radii at the entrance drive.
APPROACH FROM SOUTH
Key: I =Approaching site, 2=On site, 3=Begin backing to unloading position,
