ISE: 626 Glen St for a Driveway Slope to Exceed 14%
Dear Rob,
GARY HAAKENSON
MAYOR
This letter is in response to your letter dated October 19, 2005, requesting a driveway
slope waiver up to 16% at the above address due to the grade of the existing alley and
grade difference between the alley and your proposed garage.
After reviewing the drawings, we calculated the driveway slope off the alley at subject
address to between 16.5% and 18.8%. In addition, due to the topographic restraints and
building height limit, it would be impossible to raise the grade of the garage slab enough
to keep the driveway slope under 14% and it would also take significant reconstruction of
the alley and surrounding properties to bring the driveway grade into compliance.
Since the access is serving just two units from a Public street, we have determined it is
similar to a driveway, exterior to a garage, serving a duplex ( which is considered as a
single family residence) and therefore has a maximum driveway slope of 14 % and
waiveable up to 20%.
Based on the above determination and site topographic limitations, we hereby grant your
request for a driveway slope waiver up to 19%.
Sincerely,
Kyle Chrisman
Engineering Program Manager
