This is in conflict with the regulations for a minimum <br /> distance between driveways of 20 feet. The 5 foot setback is the more <br /> sensible minimum as it more closely matches the driveway configuration <br /> when a cul-de-sac is created. <br /> Ordinance Amendment <br /> The amendment will delete the words: <br /> Minimum Distance Between Driveways. Twenty (20) feet, between <br /> roadway edges measured along street curb line. <br /> Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of <br /> Ordinance 99-4 to amend the Elk River Ordinance, section 900.32, deleting <br /> IIIthe minimum distance between driveways. <br /> \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\stevewen\pcmmo\oa99-4.doc <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
