The board considered and approved a variance request allowing a 40-foot driveway at 23090 Cattail Bend Road, where county code allows a maximum 24-foot residential driveway.
County staff noted the area has 3- and 4-car garages and said a wider driveway would not create safety, maintenance or drainage issues in the local setting. "It's not a safety concern," a staff speaker said during the discussion. A supervisor moved to approve the variance and the board voted aye by voice vote.
The motion was carried and the variance approved for the property; staff will note the change in the property record.
