Second-driveway variance approved for 3444 Verner Road with engineering condition
Summary
The Stowe Board of Zoning Appeals approved a second-driveway variance for 3444 Verner Road (consolidated lots) with the condition that each approach include a three-foot flare from the right of way per the engineering department.
The Stowe Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance to permit a second driveway at 3444 Verner Road, a large property with approximately 225 feet of frontage, with a condition from the engineering department requiring a three-foot flare on each driveway approach at the right of way.
The applicant said the property had been consolidated from three lots into one parcel and that most driveways on the street are stone; he added there are no sidewalks or curbs on the street. Two written neighbor responses received before the hearing supported the proposal.
Planning staff relayed an engineering recommendation that each approach include a three-foot flare from the right of way; the board included that condition in its approval. Board members also advised the applicant to consider wider interior radii on the driveway curves for vehicle maneuverability.
A motion to approve the variance under section 1181.09(a) was made, seconded and approved by roll call; the board recorded four affirmative votes and announced the variance was approved.
