Subject: RE: 108 Midland Driveway Meeting Notes
Good Morning Everyone,
Lauren thank you for summarizing the meeting notes.
Regarding Retainage: Retaining of cuts within areas of the property that encroach into the minimum
required setback must be accomplished in a manner that meets the 30” rule. No single retaining
wall step may exceed 30” and there must be earth for planting materials between each step. Please
reference Section 26.575.020.(e).(5).k of the Land Use Code.
“k. Landscape walls, berms, retaining walls, stairways and similar structures, which do not
exceed thirty (30) inches vertically above or below the lower of natural or finished grade
Improvements may be up to thirty (30) inches above and below grade simultaneously, for up to a
sixty (60) inch total. Improvements may exceed thirty (30) inches below grade if determined to be
necessary for the structural integrity of the improvement. (See Figure 16). Berms are prohibited in
the front yard setback.”
Regarding net lot area: Table 26.575.020-1 in the Land Use Code includes “Areas within an existing,
dedicated, reserved for dedication, or proposed for dedication by the application private vehicular
right-of-way or vehicular easement. Notes 4, 5, 6.” Zero % of the lot area within these easements is
countable towards net lot area. The good news is that Note ‘4’ says “Areas of a property within a
shared driveway easement, when both properties sharing the easement abut a public right-of-way,
shall not be deducted from Lot Area. This enables adjacent property owners to combine two
driveways into one without reducing development rights.” This language describes the situation.
Please be aware that any grading that occurs on the neighbor’s lot will require a separate grading
permit for that property.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Bob
