MINUTES OP THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING NOVEMBEB 20, 1989 <br />ZONING PILE #1475-MCDOWELL CONTINUED <br />Mr. Owens said that if there is no subdivision, one of Mr. <br />White's options would be to blockade the road to get the <br />attention of the neighbors. <br />Kelley asked what would be accomplished by such an action? <br />Mr. Owens said that Mr. White would be exercising his rights <br />over his own property. <br />Mr. White said that allowing access for the existing two <br />residences was one thing, but adding additional houses that would <br />require the upgrade of the driveway was another. He said that he <br />had suggested to Mr. McDowell's attorney that they look at other <br />options for accessing the property. <br />Planning Commissioner Bellows questioned the requirement to <br />upgrade the driveway due to the existing density. Bellows said <br />that she consistently takes the position that a driveway be <br />upgraded at a 3-residence density. <br />Mr. James Alt, 4165 Bayside Road, asked for a definition of <br />"upgrade" and whether upgrading would be necessary only if there <br />are more than 4 residences? <br />Bellows said that the City has been enforcing the upgrade at <br />a 3-house density. The City's standards for the road is 24' for <br />a rural section, 28' for urban with curb. <br />Chairman Kelley added that a cul-de-sac would also be <br />required. <br />Zoning Administrator Mabusth said that the cul-de-sac width <br />must be 80' to provide for adequate turn around area for <br />emergency vehicles. <br />Mabusth noted the difficulty in determining from where the <br />property for the road upgrade would come. <br />Gaffron showed that the existing driveway is centered on the <br />White and Rezebek property and does not abut the proposed outlot, <br />but is separated from the driveway by a 10' to 15' gap. He said <br />that the additional 25' needed for the standard 50' outlotwidth <br />would probably come from the Rezebek property. The other option <br />would be to take a total of 50' from the McDowell, Hayssen and <br />Alt properties and construct an entirely new road. <br />Mabusth questioned how that would affect lot areas? <br />Gaffron believed there would be sufficient area to <br />accomm.'jate the outlot. <br />Mr. Gabriel Jabbour asked if the upgrade would occur as a <br />result of a subdivision application, or whether the City's Zoning
