Board approves angled driveway/apron at 28 West Elmview, applicant to restore remaining yard to grass
Summary
The zoning board approved an amended driveway plan at 28 West Elmview that reduces full front-yard paving by proposing an angled apron approximately 30 feet long and extending about 5 feet past the porch; neighbors raised drainage questions and the board required normal permitting and inspections.
The applicant at 28 West Elmview told the board he would not pave the full front yard as originally shown in the packet but instead proposed an angled apron that would extend roughly 5 feet past the porch and make the apron about 30 feet in length. The board approved the amended plan during its Jan. 28 meeting.
A board member summarized the applicant's revised layout: rather than paving 50% straight across, the applicant "only wants to bend apron 5 feet and come at an angle to about 5 feet past the stairs," reducing overall coverage. A neighbor asked where runoff would go; the applicant and board said the rest of the yard would be returned to grass once the work is complete. The motion to approve passed 5-0 (motion by Sebastian; second by Hogan). The board advised the applicant to obtain the required permits and scheduled inspections as part of normal follow-up.
