Project: Agnew Car Wash
RE: Request for Variance to Larimar County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS)
Code Reference: Chapter 193.1: Minimum Distance (from Street Curb faces to nearest parking
space in an off-street parking area).
Figure 19.6: Minimum Off Street Parking Setback Distance
Introduction
The Agnew Car Wash is situated at the terminus of a cul-de-sac that is used as a service road south of
State Highway 14. The Preliminary Development Plan proposes a small parking lot (5 spaces) situated at
the drive entry of the car wash. The parking spaces will be used by car wash staff, supervisors and
vendors. The distance between the edge of pavement for the roadway and the face of the curb for the first
parking stall is 37 feet. The average trip generation for the parking lot is 200-300 trips, (per Delich
Associates, Traffic Memorandum Dated November 8, 2006). The LCUASS requires a setback of 40' for
parking lots with volumes between 100 and 750. This request is to reduce the requirement by 3' from 40'
as required to 37' as proposed.
Justification
1. The parking lot lies at the terminus of a cul-de-sac; there will be no through traffic that could be
impacted by a reduced setback.
2. The parking lot in question is relatively small, (5 spaces) which will have little potential for
traffic to "back-up" into the public R.O.W.
3. The 5 spaces as proposed are the minimum required for the function of the car wash facility. The
use for these spaces will be for staff, management and vendors for the facility.
4. The health, safety and welfare of the general public are not compromised.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
