Body
Item Summary:
Mr. Kelvin McDuffie is appealing Section 2.1.6A, Standard Construction Specifications, to allow a second curb on a lot with less than 200 feet of frontage.  He purchased property located at 775 Winnmark Court. The subject property has 67.54 feet of frontage, which is less than the required 200 feet of frontage. He would like to have a circular drive with two driveways.     
 
The City of Roswell Standard Construction Specifications states that when the property frontage is less than two hundred (200) feet, only one driveway shall be considered for approval.  Therefore, he is appealing the requirement for the 200 feet of frontage to allow for a second driveway.  He has submitted two design options for the driveway. Roswell's Department of Transportation has reviewed the design and has no concerns with this request.
 
Committee or Staff Recommendation:
On April 8, 2013 Mayor and Council deferred this item to the April 22, 2013 Mayor and Council Agenda.
