FILE # 17-3945 17 July 2017 Page 3 of 5 needed. Proposed hardcover for this lot is shown at 22% (9815 square feet); structural coverage is shown to be 10%. Outlots: There are four outlots proposed. The plans differ as to their labeling. This review references the outlot labels as shown on the Cardarelle survey. The existing driveway is shown as Outlot C and will be widened to 25 feet once past the gates; Outlot C is 0.34 acres. Outlot B is 0.2 acre in area and is shown as a possible add-on to the Huelers' property. Outlot D is 0.5 acre in area. Outlot E contains the wetland and is approximately 1.1 acres in area. There is no Outlot A. Issues for Discussion: The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing driveway, although widening the paved width of the roadway to 25 feet. The Code requires creation of a 50 foot outlot beginning at Kelly Avenue and continuing to a 100 foot cul-de-sac. They show a 25 foot wide outlot for the private road where a 50 foot wide outlot is required. There is a circular turnaround shown on the Cardarelle Survey which may or may not be a private improvement on one or both of the lots 2709 Walters Port and 2710 Pence. The applicant should clarify the plan. Fire Marshal James Van Eyll has reviewed this plan and felt that generally the plan would meet their access needs. Planning Commission should direct the applicant regarding the proposed private road outlot width and the circular driveway turnaround. 2. The private road is shown to connect with Walters Port in addition to the new shared driveway curb cut for 2709 Walters Port and 2710 Pence Ln. The applicant should clarify the connection to Walters Port. Is it to be a through street connection? Or an emergency access which will be gated most of the time? Planning Commission should ask for clarification regarding the Walters Port connection. 3. The plan suggests the connection of the Pence Lane Drive to Walter Port Lane. While Staff is generally supportive of additional transportation connections, this does introduce additional impacted properties. Further, the question arises, should Walters Port be improved to city code standards due to the number of connections it provides? (see Code Section 82-281 Exhibit D) According to the Code, the private road outlot should be widened to 50 feet and the paved width increased to 28 feet, or 24 feet at a minimum. The applicant will need to provide the standard private road easements and evidence of a maintenance agreement for both portions of the private road. Planning Commission should direct the applicant regarding the creation of the proposed private through road. 4. The applicant is proposing to keep the existing entrance monuments and gate. The monuments are separated by 20 feet. Entrance gates on private driveways are permitted, however a gate spanning a public or private road is uncommon. According to Code Section 78-1405, entrance monuments serving three or more residences must be separated by a minimum horizontal width of 22 feet; a gate serving three or more residences must have a minimum horizontal opening of 20 feet in the full open position. A photo of the existing gates are attached within Exhibit E. The planning commission should discuss the request for a gate crossing the private roadway and the proposed width of the horizontal separation. S. According to the survey, proposed Outlot B is shown as a separate outlot to provide the option
