The lot was created in 1996 as part of the Plat of Beau Marais 2"^ <br />Addition. At that time it was implied that the access for this lot would be to the private drive that <br />also serves two additional lots to the north. The 2530 lot also was required to enter into a <br />driveway maintenance agreement with the two lots that also share access. <br />1 he request is to allow direct access to Fox Street rather than have access to a shared driveway. <br />The staffs rationale behind requiring the access to the private drive was related to limiting the <br />number direct driveway access p' ints to Fox Street. The Comprehensive Plan addresses the issue <br />stating that the number of curb c s and access points be limited. The Comp Plan only discusses <br />limiting access for individual residences for streets designated as arterials. This section of Fox <br />Street is n^ defined as an arterial but is one of only a few through streets that do receive <br />additional east-west traffic. Fox Street west of Old Crystal Bay Road is defined as “B" minor <br />arterial, and east of Old Crystal Bay is expected to have all additional traffic in the future, <br />especially if/when improvements to the County Road 15/Orono Orchard Road intersection are <br />made. <br />Staff has concluded (from information that is available from the time the lot was created) the <br />city's intent was that access for 2530 would be from the existing private access drive. The <br />developer also went so far as to attribute a portion of the maintenance costs for the private drive <br />to the subject lot. Additionally, the private driveway was required to be upgraded to <br />accommodate additional traffic for a third lot. Allowing direct access to Fox Street would not be <br />consistent with the past policies and approvals, and would conflict with the intent of the <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br />»4iii <br />J <br />I \J
