SAVE FORM PRINT FORM SUBMIT FORM I am requesting a. variance to install a second driveway to a detached garage at 2740 Orchard Lane. Since there is an existing driveway servicing the house on the property, a variance is required to allow installation of a second driveway to service the detached garage. The garage is used to store several classic cars as well as lawn and grounds maintenance equipment and snow blowers. While not having a driveway slid not seem to be much of an issue when we buUt the garage, it since has become somewhat of a problem. The garage is currently accessed by driving over the lawn from the roadway. While this initially worked, as more trips ovex the lawn have occurred, the grass has gradually been killed resulting in an unsightly and difficult to use dirt road, especially during wet weather emd in the spring. A driveway from Orchard Lane to the garage would greatly enhance the accessibility to the garage, eliminate the unsightly dirt road and yet blend in well with the property. . The proposed driveway would blend well with the aesthetics of the neighborhood, The proposed width of 16 feet corresponds with the ocher driveways. Other driveways on Orchard Lane range in length from 60 feet to 120 feet in length. The proposed driveway is 82 feet long. The distance between driveways on Orchard Lane varies from as little as 12 fbdl to 165 feet. The distance from the proposed driveway to the next nearest driveway is 205 feet. It will be the only driveway on the block from Sandpiper Trail to Minnewashta Woods Drive. The proposed driveway is 145 feet from the corner of Sandpiper Trail and Orchard Lane allowing a reasonable distance for vehicles turning onto Orchard Lane and vehicles entering or exiting the proposed driveway to safely react to each other. I plan to install additional shrubbery, plants and flowers near the proposed driveway so it blends in well with the other landscaping on the property. I will assess how to best accomplish that once the driveway has been installed. There are some difficulties in attempting to comply with the ordinance and installing a driveway from the house driveway to the garage. The most significant issue is the distance involved. A driveway from the house to the garage would be approximately 240 feet long, while a driveway from Orchard Lane to the garage would be 82 feet. That would result in considerably less hard pack. The configuration of the property does not lend itself to installing a driveway from the house to the garage in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Since the house is located on the end of the property, and the garage at the opposite end, a driveway complying with the ordinance would run the entire length of the property and parallel to Orchard Lane. Since there is a wetland behind the house, the only feasible route would be across the front yard of the house. This would create a frontage road appearance, much more obtrusive and certainly would not fit in with any of the other properties on Orchard Lane, who all have more conventional driveways. It would significantly detract from the current landscaping, the turn of the century ambiance of the property, as well as restricting any future landscaping. Granting a variance for a second driveway would do far less to alter the character of the neighborhood than would a driveway in compliance with the ordinance. We have grown very fond of the property and have spent considerable time upgrading the house and improving the grounds. A variance for a second driveway would further enhance our efforts to continue to improve what we consider a rather unique property.
