FROM: CARMEN S. ANNUNZIATO, PLANNING DIRECTOR
RE: DR. LOVE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING
PARKING LOT VARIANCES
Section 5-144(c)(4) of the Code of Ordinances requires that when
a variance to Section 5, Article X, Parking Lots is requested, the
Technical Review Board must forward to the Planning and Zoning
Board a recommendation, and that the recommendation forwarded is
to be made part of the public hearing proceedings. To that end,
this memo is forwarded consistent with 5-144(c)(4).
Luther L. Eubanks, agent for Dr. Douglas J. Love, has requested
variances to the fOllowing sections of the recently amended
Parking Lot Regulations:
1) Section 5-142(f) "Drainage"
2) Section 5-142(h)(2) "Driveway Radius"
3) Section 5-142(h)(3) "Driveways"
4) Section 5-142(h)(4) "Back-up Space"
5) Section 5-142 (i) (2) "Ma;.euvering"
Section 5-142(f) "Drainage," among other things, requires that
storm water be retained on-site at a capacity of not less than
2.5 inches of rainfall in one hour. with respect to this
requirement, the applicant is requesting that the existing
storm water flow onto adjacent rights-of-way be allowed to
continue.
Section 5-142(h)(2) "Driveway Radius" requires that each parking
lot diiveway shall be constructed with a radius at the
intersection of the vehicular traffic lane of (25) feet or as
otherwise approved by the City Engineer. With respect to this
requirement, a determination was made by the Technical Review
Board that a variance to this ~ection of the Parking Lot .
Regulations ~s not necessary, as the new Parking Lot Ordinance
allows the City Engineer ,to apprOVe alternatives to the 25 foot
radius requirement, and in this instance, he is recommending an
alternative, as outlined in the attached memorandum.
Section 5-142(h)(3) "Driveways," among other things, requires
that no parking'lot driveway may be constructed closer than
thirty (30) feet from the intersection of the right-of-way lines
along local streets. With respect to this requirement, the
applicant is requesting permission to construct a 12 foot wide
ingress driveway within 21.5 feet of the intersecting
right-Of-way lines. .
Section S-142(h)(4) "Back-up SpaC'e" requires, among other things,
that there shall be a safe and unobstructed distance of eighteen
(18) feet in length between the ~ide of an angled parking stall
and a public right-of-way~ In this instance, the applicant is
requesting to be permitted to prc'vide a lesser distance of 12.5
feet between the first angled pal"king stall in the north row and
the right-of-way for N.E. 1st Stl"eet.
