J Request for Council Action continued Page 2 Jul®:’2, 1996 Zoning File #2136 Greenfield Corporation, 180 North Shore Drive West List of Exhibits A - Amended Resolution B-1-2 Stu} 'Sketches C - Amen<‘;d Preliminar)' Plan Review of Amended Plan Applicant's sur\eyor has provided a 30' wide private driveway outlot that will ser\e as access to Lots 1, 3 and 4. A temporar>' cul-de-sac has been shown at the northeast comer. A cul-de- sac in its present location appears to serve no purpose nor does the Code require a cul-de-sac or turnaround for a driveway at less than 500'. Review Exhibit B-2, the staff sketch shows the impact on the building site of Lot 4 as stmeture would have to be 50' from the edge of the cul-de-sac. The future residents would be best served by a backout pad being provided within Outlot B. There is adequate room within 50' Outlot B to provide a backout pad for emergency vehicles. A pemianent cul-de-sac will be located within property to the east when private road is developed. The Code does not require a cul-de-sac for a legal driveway. The Comp Plan recommends that the Cit>' should have special width requirements when drive serves more than one resident. With the amended plan. Lot 1 no longer needs a lot width variance. Lot 3 has been expanded to 142' width rather than a 90' width and Lot 4 remains at 150'. It will be necessary to define the legal accesses to each of the lots, specifically Lot 4. Review Exhibit B-1, note the impact on the building envelope if access is achieved from Outlot B. Lot 4’s front lot line must remain at the north to maintain a feasible building envelope (no setback variances needed). Staff has been advised that the developer will not be the builder of the future residences on the proposed lots. Staff is concerned that a future builder may propose a building site to the south of the septic test areas on Lot 3 Constmetion to the south for Lot 4 is not possible because of the location of the protected wetland area. Staff recommends adding a condition that no residential construction (principal or accessory construction) will be allowed to the south of the septic test sites within Lot 3. Staff has amended the original approval resolution to include the following: 1.Engineer to provide specs or standards for private driveway to serve three lots. Roadway shall be paved. A temporar>’ backout pad shall be installed within Outlot B to facilitate emergency vehicles or other larger vehicles. Temporary cul-de-sac to be eliminated.
