Staff has addressed the issues from the last hearing pretty well. One issue from the last hearing was the setback and not the number of cars. Desmond said he wanted to make a point about the driveway being there historically. Also, whether or not the garage was used to park the car, or whether the driveway was used to park the car. He said he couldn't imagine that the driveway was never used to park a car.
People park in their driveways all of the time even if they have a two or three-car garage.
He didn't think that was something out of the ordinary at any historical time period, regardless of the size of the car. He said he agreed with staff in terms of the historical nature of the driveway. The driveway has existed and has been used for a long time whether or not there was a garage. The driveway was torn up because of a utility or site problem. It also called more attention to the site because of the spreading of dirt and gravel.
