Description
Title: Staff Approvals List
Summary
The memo discusses a proposed modification to the Staff Approval List concerning residential driveway paving in the City of Ann Arbor, as initiated by the Historic District Commission. The legislation aims to streamline the approval process for driveway paving applications, which have become routine and typically receive minimal discussion. Key provisions include allowing concrete or asphalt for paving, maintaining historic two-track driveways, and ensuring that the pavement width does not exceed current dimensions. Additionally, any new parking spaces must adhere to existing approved areas, and a planting strip must be preserved between the house and driveway. These changes aim to maintain the historical integrity of residential areas while facilitating easier approvals for homeowners.
