The parcels must be legally combined before a building permit can be issued. Drainage from the site draim predominantly to the east. The City Engineer sees no problem with the residemial development oi this property. A major concern for this review has been the issue of access as Park Avenue, an unimproved dedicated right-of-way, will now service three residemial units. The Engineer had originally recommended thm road be upgraded to a 24’ paved width. The Planning Commission supports the recommendatioo that the existing paved road be extended at the cuirem width and that the City Eiyineer be directed to provide an altemative plan for use of the 30’ width righi-of-way for turnaround use. The Public Works Director has advised that the City maintains Park Avenue up to the second residentiai driveway. If th: roadway b to be maintained by the City t^) to the proposed third residemial drive, then the enclosed Engineer ’s sketch (Exhibit I) must be revised to serve maintenance vehicles with the north radius changed from 10’ to 20’ and the southerly comer to a 10’ radius. The turnaround is provided by extendii^ the travelled roadway (Park Avenue) a minimum of 30’ northerly of the curb cut to the newly developed lot. The applicam b opposed to the turnaround improvemern (fesigned by the City Engineer noting the improvemern will result in the unnecessary loss of mature trees in addition to diminishing the privacy and value of the lot. The following options are available to Council 1.If road is to be maintained by City, then driveway and extended Park Avenue must be dciigned per Engineer ’s plan for use of trucks. 2.If a turnaround is not provided at the north end of improved Park Avemie providing a safe/feasihle turnaround for municipal maintenance vehicles, then applicam shall be responsible for mainuining the driveway within the extended portion of Park Avenue.
