This is just absurd. What in the world could be precipitating this useless ordinance? Can't we first fix some of the more glaring issues in this city besides trying to limit and encroach upon decisions which should be left to homeowners/landowners? Give it up folks.

A ten foot wide driveway is just silly. Today's homes have 3 car garages more often than not. With land costs going up, how do you expect a home owner with say a 3000 sq. ft. home to only have a one or two car garage, and then only a ten foot wide approach? I'm sure there are much more pressing issues that the City should be dealing with. This is a waste of everyone's time.

This would cause more on-street parking, causing more possibilities for pedestrians to be hit walking around cars parked in the street.

Another attempt by the City Council to discriminate against housing that doesn’t fit their agenda....a shame

Alleys are not pretty. This doesn’t sound family friendly when the children are teenagers.

Too many families are multi car families out of necessity. Limiting driveway ingress and egress would seriously impact future home development in Fayetteville and push new homes to other communities thereby eroding the Fayetteville tax base. This ordinance may seem progressive but it’s bad legislation!!

Ridiculous that the city is even focusing on this, it’s a horrible proposal. Why don’t they do something constructive and focus on funding for additional junior high or high school?

I'm progressive an applaud reducing auto emissions. This is not the way to do it unless you want cars illegally parked on the streets.

lame, unreasonable, drives up costs with larger lots needed. Renders existing investments worth Less as smaller houses would likley be needed to allow for rear garage. In the end, more concrete is sold and less green. more concrete as you need to go around the backside of the house etc.

I am very against this! The main reason we bought a house is for a big backyard to have people over and for our dog.

How about trying to be NOT part of the parking problem. Just two months ago people where there complaining about having no driveway or place to park because of college students or local businesses. I know its in the old part of town but soon its going to be everywhere. Lets no go backwards and have the same problems over and over.
