Vice Mayor Gilmore stated the garage doors are smaller than the width of the driveway there is a vent pipe that comes down along the side of the house and protrudes into the driveway which would make it very difficult for a car to enter the garage. The Supervising Planner stated many driveways are challenging in terms of access. Vice Mayor Gilmore stated that she is concerned with the intent of using the garage for the proposed use. The Supervising Planner stated that the Parking Ordinance requires that garages be kept free of structures to accommodate a vehicle. Vice Mayor Gilmore stated that the garage could abut the property line if detached from the house; once the garage is attached to the house, there are side and backyard setback issues. The Supervising Planner stated the Code allows for garages to abut both the side and rear property lines under certain circumstances the front of the garage needs to be 75 feet from the front property line and there needs to be a 5-foot separation between the main house and the garage a detached garage could comply with the 75- foot regulation; she is not sure about compliance with the 5-foot Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 6 January 4, 2005 | CityCouncil/2005-01-04.pdf |
