The drive has been altered by the petitioner. There is a large amount of gravel in front of the rental property to allow for additional off-street parking. Mr. Grossbaum said he would like to have that option. Even though it's a single drive it would allow tenants to park behind each other. Rice continued with his report saying that the distance from the drive cut to the back of the structure is approximately 57-feet, which would permit two cars.
Staff is supportive of the variance, including the three conditions as outlined in the report.
The petitioner had nothing to add to the staff report. They both have a lot of concerns about this case. He presented photographs to the Hearing Officer showing the current condition of the premises. He talked about the ground being torn up. Previously, there was a plumbing problem that he thinks occurred at 616 N. Washington Street.
