Dear Paul:
The Community Development Department has reviewed your request to change the Autumn Hill II land use approval #1 which states “Lot # 8 – Driveway faces west, house fronts north”.
This condition is based on vehicle safety entering and exiting the driveway. Having the house front on Birkland Street meets your request of having the front yard setback from Birkland
Street, and allows the rear yard setbacks to be met. This also meets your request to serve utilities from Birkland Street.
A house plan that utilizes a “side load” garage will meet the land use requirement, and all setback requirements. If a street tree is located where the driveway will be, the tree may
be relocated or removed as needed.
Based on your request, and the fact that all setbacks can be met with the above requirement, the Department upholds its condition as stated in the land use approval.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at (360) 458-8496.
Sincerely,
Tami Merriman
Assistant Planner
Department of Community Development
