Section 10-605 limits maximum residential driveway width to 25 feet. It also requires a minimum separation of 10 feet between driveways (see Exhibit "B"). Please note, these measurements are taken at the "in-turn" portion of the driveway. The measurements are based on "throat" width and do not include radii projections (see Exhibit "e").

This section further states that the Board is allowed to grant a variance only when it finds that all of the following conditions have been met:
