Stop Single-Car Driveway/Garage Mandate in Fayetteville

Please protect property owners rights and allow us to choose the driveway and garage style our home.

I believe this is the city of Fayetteville continuing to go backwards and let our surrounding neighbors continue to surpass us on progress and development. No wonder so many businesses and builders have fled the city!!

The idea of reducing the width of driveways to 10' is ridiculous. What about families that have more than 2 vehicles? What about then a home owner has visitors? This ordinance will only create more parking on streets and become an even bigger problem. It should be up to the developer or homeowner to decide what best fits their needs. MOST buyers do NOT like the idea of a rear car garage. Why would you want to increase parking on the street and cause even more potential issues and create more safety issues?

Requiring a maximum driveway space of 10 feet is dangerous. There will be even more cars parking on the streets and alleys causing more congestion. Also requiring garages to be in the back endangers our children being in a safe place to play! This forces them into the front yards where there is more exposure to strangers and being hit by traffic! It will also affect sales of new homes. In my opinion it is not in the best interest of home ownership and the public.

BAD IDEA!

All homes these days need at least 2 car garages. People don’t want to purchase a home with only a 1 car garage.

I do not think that restricting driveways and garages is a good plan for future development of Fayetteville.

This is a horrible idea because most people’s households have two cars

Families have teenage drivers. Most familes have at least 2 cars. If this passes you will have more cars parked on the streets and in the yards.

Another over reach by government especially Fayetteville city government trying to legislate/regulate everything. Probably thinking this will get people to bike more and stop driving those evil cars and trucks.

The City of Fayetteville has a long history of making stupid decisions which adversely affect it's citizens, and future growth. We can just add this to the list! We already have a problem with people parking on the street in our neighborhood, this will just exacerbate the problem in new neighborhoods, or new builds. Ridiculous.

You build 10’ wide sidewalks that no one uses then tell us you can’t have a garage on the front of the house or a driveway wider than 10’ is a joke and shows how stupid most of the things you have done really is and how it adversely it effects the citizens of fayetteville.

Our buyers request garages. Cars are larger and having children who drive will prove to also prevent buyers from purchasing homes in Fayetteville if they have multiple cars.

Why do you get to choose how we want our house?

Not the right thing to do. This will create parking issues for families with multiple cars. Driveways are also used as play areas for children and adults. How would this marry up with 2 and 3 car garages? what purpose or reasoning would this even serve?

Not a good ideal

I understand that this ordinance is for certain zoning codes but it definitely needs more study and input from builders, developers and Realtors.

Please don't do this!

The government is trying to take away our rights little by little! It's time for smaller government! These proposed charges are going to create more problems than they are going to fix!

Single driveways will force more parking on the street I am not in favor of this given the already limited parking around town
