Drawing 19-6 shows that the minimum distance from the
w
a
o
street flowline to the first off-street parking space is to be 40
=
feet for a local street with a traffic volume at 100-750 ADT and
wz
a driveway traffic volume at 100-750 ADT. The reason for this
0
o
requirement is to provide room for cars to maneuver in or out of
�
a
the parking stall nearest to the street with no impact on the
N
traffic operation on the street.
This project will consist of 42 townhome dwelling units.
The transportation impact study (TIS) has also been submitted to
the City. Based upon the available site plan, the first parking
stall (garage access) is 32 feet from the flowline of Iowa Drive.
While this is not significantly less than the required 40 feet,
it does require a variance. The site designer has determined
that the proposed site plan provides the most efficient layout in
order to achieve proper building separation and resident
amenities. The design vehicle for this development is a
Uni
passenger car. The length of a passenger car is approximately 20
n•
feet. This is significantly less than the available 32 feet.
��
Paragraph four of the TIS addresses the information regarding the
w
determination that the variance will not be detrimental to the
z
public health, welfare, and safety.

setback will not compromise the public health, welfare, and

safety. It is respectfully requested that the above variance be

granted.
