RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS M ill/des of Dublin City Council Meeting ~ICS Meetillg National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ Held January 3, 1989 19 Page Three Mr. Willis said that the plans were submitted with a three car garage with two lines that were non-dimensional on the site, indicating a drveway approximately the width of the garage. He said that there were no dimensions shown on the driveway on the plan. Mr. Willis also said that he did not know of any similar situations at the present time. Mr. Smith said that Council does not need to change the Ordinance, saying that Council could, by motion, amend the date of the grace period that was approved by motion of Council previously. Ms. Maurer expressed a concern that perhaps should Council grant this request that there would be additional requests. She also said that Council made it very clear to the Engineering Department that home- owners, builders, etc. were to be given proper notice regarding the City of Dublin standards as to driveway widths. Mr. Willis said that this particular plan had been reviewed by a consultant, and were not stamped in red indicating the maximum driveway width as is the procedure normally followed. Mrs. Coddington said that their builder had not been notified of a maximum driveway width, but had gotten the information from other builders Ms. Maurer said that Mrs. Coddington's builder should have been aware of the Ordinance in existence. Mrs. Coddington said that she felt that the builder should have been notified at the time the plans were submitted; at this point they have invested a great deal of time and money into their home; had they been given the information regarding driveway width at the time of submittal of their plans, they would have sold their lot and built elsewhere. Mr. Amorose referred to Section 1341.01 of the Dublin Codified Ordinances which states as follows: "The stamping of any specification or drawing shall not be held to permit or be an approval of any violation of any section of the Building Code, nor shall the issuance of any permit for a part of a structure be held to imply or require the approval of any remaining part of such structure for which complete specifications and drawings were not submitted at the time of issuance of the permit for a part of the structure." Mr. Amorose also pointed out that this particular home is a 72 foot wide home with a 30 foot concrete driveway; that he felt that aesthetically the driveway width would be out of scale with the proposed construction of the home. Mr. Jankowski said that he felt that it would be unfair to tell the Coddingtons that they cannot have their driveway after the plans had been approved by the Building Department and the house is currently 85/0 complete. Mr. Amorose said that he felt that there are certain standards that are to be met and that the Building Code should be followed. Mr. Strip moved to amend the previous Council motion, making the effective date involving driveways June 10, 1988 rather than June 1, 1988. Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was as follows: Mr. Amorose, no; Mr. Jankowski, yes; Ms. Maurer, no; Mr. Rozanski, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes. Council Roundtable Discussion I il II II 1.
