RE: Variance Request—Dove Church (ZA21-0093)
Development Services:
As the representative of the above referenced project, I hereby request the following variances.
This a request for variance for the existing driveway stacking depth to remain the existing depth of±40',
as approved by the previous site plan (ZA99-099); this site plan is utilizing the existing drives, and the
configuration of the existing site and is asking to reapprove the variance for stacking depth reduction.
This is a request for a variance for the center driveway throat width to remain the 17'4" instead of the
required 24'per the previously approved site plans (ZA99-009).There are still two existing drives with a
throat of 24' width, so fire access is provided at two locations for the site.This is a request for reapproval
of a variance to the min.throat width to be 17'4"for the center drive.
This is a request for a variance to Zoning Ord. No. 480, as amended, Section 33.19. The site is proposing
not to provide a 5' sidewalk to be built along Lonesome Dove Rd. There are currently no other existing
sidewalks along Lonesome Dove Road for a sidewalk with this development to connect to or have
pedestrian use and would not serve use for the church or those along Lonesome Dove Road.
This is a request for a variance to Ordinance 480,Section 39 requiring a minimum 8'screening device along
all boundaries abutting a residential property. The Zoning Board of Adjustment granted a variance to this
requirement in 1999 with the previously approved site plan (ZBA-313). This development is asking for
reapproval of a variance to the screening requirement. There are existing fences & trees along the
residential properties abutting Dove Church property that will remain and act as a buffer to the residential
properties.
Sincerely,
Sachi Burlingame, P.E.
