Committee recommends approval of driveway-width variance for 8081 Hawkeye Court
Summary
The Public Improvements and Safety Committee recommended that Resolution 46R26 — a variance increasing the permitted driveway width at 8081 Hawkeye Court from 24 feet to about 27 feet — be forwarded to the full board with a positive recommendation after a staff report citing access and parking needs.
The Public Improvements and Safety Committee voted to forward Resolution 46R26 to the village board with a positive recommendation, approving a staff recommendation for a driveway-width variance at 8081 Hawkeye Court.
Staff member Izzy told the committee the property’s lot requires a 24-foot width at the right-of-way but the applicant is requesting approximately 27 feet to provide easier access for multiple vehicles and drivers and to accommodate a parking pad behind or beside the house. "The applicant in this case would like a wider driveway within the right of way," Izzy said, and added that the total driveway width and setbacks on the lot would comply. Izzy recommended approval with conditions and said the increased width would not be out of character for the surrounding area.
Mr. Nelson moved to recommend the resolution and Mr. James seconded. After the clerk completed roll call, the committee announced it would send Resolution 46R26 to the next board meeting with a positive recommendation.
The committee’s recommendation does not finalize the variance; the full village board will consider the resolution at its next meeting.
