Summary

A homeowner seeking a second driveway at 8688 Laredo Street received a variance after staff explained that owning the adjacent lot makes a second driveway subject to spacing rules; the board approved the request without objection.

The board approved a variance for a driveway at 8688 Laredo Street after staff explained the applicant had purchased the adjacent lot and, because the parcels are owned by the same person, a second driveway requires a variance.

Staff said the lot is larger than surrounding parcels and had an informal trail where a driveway would go; the applicant, who identified himself as Matthew Robert Indra, said he would use a permitted culvert and follow Public Works requirements when the driveway is constructed. A board member noted the change likely improves drainage and access. One email from a neighboring property owner was recorded but no in-person opposition appeared. The board approved the application after a District 4 motion to approve without objection.
