#2484 - Woodhill CC May 5. 1999 Page 7 nHvewav Standards. The proposed driveway is subject to the driveway standards of Municipal Code Section 6.05, Subdivision 10 "Uusiness Driveways, Approaches and Turnarounds". Tliose standards which may be applicable to the current request include- Only one business driN-eway is allowed per development unless approved by City Must be paved (bituminous) within the rirht-of-way - Driveway approach to be at least 100* from a corner in a residential district . Must be 10' from side lot line Tlic proposed driveway is a second driveway to the Club. The proposed driveway is gravel, not paved. Tlie standard for a drivewny approach being 100* from a comer has, at best, dubious applicability in Uiis ease due to the linear nature of the road and driveway layout. Tlie proposed driveway is cx.ictly 10 ’ from the lot line abutting the property to the immediate south, and more than 10* from the property to t!ic north. I and Alteration Permit Land alteration in excess of that auihori7cd by a drivew ay pcmiit or when not authorized in conjunction with a building pennit. requires, at a minimum, a staff administered land alteration pennit per Section 10.03, Subd 19-21. Wlien the volume of land alteration e.xceeds 500 cubic yards, a Conditional Use Permit is required Staff is authorized to refer land alteration pemiit requests to Council for volumes less than 500 c.y. if staff concludes the work may create negative impacts or be not in keeping with the goals and policies of tlic Comprehensive Plan. While from all information gathered to date it appears the volume of grading in conjunction with this access work was significantly less than 500 c.y , the proposal docs "potentially create negative impacts" in the opinion of staff, specifically related to diainage, noi^c, odors, visual impacts and public safety, all of which should be reviewed by the Council given the neighborhood concerns. con^micdop^tion of the private golf courses (Rural Park and Open Space Policy #8 on page CMP 8-12) because they provide acsttietic open space and natural vistas to the benefit of adjacent landowners and the general public. In regards to Rural Transportation Policies, the CMP in Policy #7 on page CMP 7-13 states that "Driveway locations and rural street or private road intersections w-ill be limited for traffic safety...", the intent being to consolidate access points onto major roads. Urban Land Use Policy #6 on page CMP 4-18. states that "Commercial and industrial development will not be permitted to adversely affect neighboring residential property...". While Woodhill is not strictly a commercial or industrial use, certain aspects of its operation may have impacts tliat arc not strictly residential in nature, and that is why private golf courses are a conditional use rather than a permitted use.
