Variance Request Information Applicant to provide supporting documents and an area map. 1. Property Tax Parcel numbers: 646434 2. Narrative project description: Proiect involves constructing -a residential driveway to access the property. Due to steep existing topography and Elevation differences between the roadway and the buildable area, the purposed driveway exceeds standard grade Limits, ranging from approximately 19% to 30%. A variance is requested to allow the increased grade. If granted this variance would not be detrimental to the surrounding areas, it is a quiter neighborhood and will not impact the welfare. 3. Provision of road standards for which this variance is requested and the way in which you wish to vary from the standards: This variance request pertains to the county road standard limiting driveway access grades to a maximum of 10% with the first 20ft not to exceed 6%. The proposed driveway exceeds these standards, with grades ranging from 19-30%. The variance is requesting to allow construction of driveway as proposed due to site constraints. Reason for the variance request: Variance is requested due to the steep natural topography of the site and the elevation difference between the roadway and the buildable area. These physical constraints limit the ability to design a driveway that meets standard grade requirements. We hired Hi -Line homes to build our house and guide us through this difficult proccess. Their project manager shot elevations and determined the grade of the garage, now we are in the final steps and we are being told our driveway is to steep and we need to request this variance. As we are new to this, we don't understand ow we macle it this tar into e process without as being Caught sooner, we are pleacling with you to cons+ er is variance. 4.
