best be served by a shared driveway accessing the public portion of Lympn Avenue <br />based on the following findings: <br />a. Due to topography, wetlands and site layout including the location <br />of the existing residence and its septic system, the only feasible location for <br />a private road and cul-de-sac within the property is along the southwesterly <br />property boundary directly adjacent to the residence at 1290 Lyman <br />Avenue. <br />b. Because the house at 1290 Lyman is only 30 feet from where such <br />a road would be located, its east side setback would become non-conforming <br />as a result of such a road because the RR-IB district requires a 50 foot side <br />street setback. <br />e. <br />f. <br />c. A private road would have negative impacts on the residence at <br />1290 Lyman Avenue due to traffic noise, lights, etc. which would reduce <br />the privacy enjoyed by that property. <br />d. A private driveway serving only Lots 1 and 2 could be constructed <br />to have relatively minimal impact on 1290 Lyman Avenue, especially in <br />conjunction with creation of a 20 foot buffer outlot (shown on the <br />preliminary plat drawings as Outlot A) between the proposed 30 foot <br />Outlot B and 1290 Lyman Avenue. Outlot A is intended to remain <br />undisturbed and function as a separation and vegetation buffer, subject to <br />restrictive covenants. An option, but not a requirement of this approval, <br />is sale or transfer of Outlot A to the owner of 1290 Lyman for legal <br />combination with 1290 Lyman. <br />The subdivider should provide an acceptable grading and drainage plan for <br />the shared driveway in Outlot B prior to final plat approval. The driveway <br />when constructed by future owner(s) of Lots 1 and 2 shall adhere to the <br />approved plan, unless the City approves an amendment to that plan. <br />At the time of building permit approval and driveway construction for Lot <br />1, the owner of Lot 1 should provide additional screening near the southeast <br />comer of Lot 1 sufficient to minimize and reduce vehicle headlights shining <br />into the rear yard of 1290 Lyman Avenue. <br />Page 3 of 8
