Project: 626 S. Whitcomb Street – 4 Plex
Modification to Standard LUC 3.2.2(L) Table A
Section 3.2.2(L) Table A lists the standard width for a two-way drive aisle as 24’.
Modification of Standard Review Criteria – LUC 2.8.2, (H) Step 8 (Standards): (4) the plan as submitted
will not diverge from the standards of the Land Use Code that are authorized by this Division to be
modified except in a nominal, inconsequential way when considered from the perspective of the entire
development plan, and will continue to advance the purposes of the Land Use code as contained in
Section 1.2.2.
We propose to deviate a couple feet due to the space of the site being limited. At the end of our 5
parking space lot is a ‘hammer-head’ for vehicle turn-around. Due to the limited space on the site and
the ‘hammer-head’ turn-around, we request a modification to Standard LUC 3.2.2(L) Table A and have a
21’ drive aisle in lieu of 24’.

Modification to Standard LUC 3.8.30(F)(1)
Section 3.8.30 (F) (1) of the Land Use Code cites that “Buffer yards along the property line of abutting
property containing single – and two – family dwellings shall be twenty-five (25) feet”.
Modification of Standard Review Criteria – LUC 2.8.2, (H) Step 8 (Standards) : (1) the plan as submitted
will promote the general purpose of the standard for which the modification is requested equally well or
better than would a plan which complies with the standard for which a modification is requested.
The design of the duplex addition is “equal to or better than” the twenty-five foot requirement. The
north wall of the addition, although not twenty-five (25) feet from the duplex addition, provides privacy
from the adjacent property with the wood privacy trellis providing privacy from the bedroom escape
window. There are windows 4’ – 6” above the floor that will have ‘frosted’ glass for privacy.
