r 3. 4. 34 1 0 North Shore Drive - Access Issue October 9, 1998 Page 2 short (250’) section of private road, while remaining at a relatively narrow width that is less likely to draw unwanted traffic, and that is still relatively unobtrusive for the neighborhood.) 2. That a reorientation of the 'hammerhead' turnaround as proposed is acceptable (Staff rSCQnUTlffldfltion* The 'T* hammerhead as revised should provide similar access for emergency vehicles as the original proposal, as long as it meets curve radius standards.) That it is reasonable for Regan to have his primary access to Tonkawa Road rather than North Shore Drive (Staff recomm endation: Since North Shore Drive has significantly more traffic, changing Regan's primary access to Tonkawa should be a positive step from a safety standpoint. Staff would then recommend that Regan's North Shore Drive access be removed). That a 20' private road as proposed with a hammerhead turnaround could reasonably serve as many as 6 potential primary users (Staff recommendation: We are pushing the limit for needing a cul-de-sac, but it is true that 4 of the 6 lots which ultimately would use the private road also abut a County road, hence firefighting equipment would likely set up in the County road. This unique configuration differentiates this proposal from many others we may be faced with.) This week the owner of 3400 North Shore stopped in to see if he could get a building permit for a detached garage accessing to Render's road. He was advised to attend Monday's meeting. Staff Recommendation The proposed paved width increase from 16 ’ to 20’, with the revised T tumaio’inJ, is a reasonable compromise that in this specific case should provide adequate access for up to 6 homes while having minimal impact on the neighborhood. If approved. Render may wish to amend his subdivision covenants to incorporate or reference the proposed agreemen;. As an aside, note that as a result of the private road outlot creation, 3400/3410/3420 North Shore Drive have become 'through lots' which require a CUP for any detached accessory buildings. Staff recommends approval of the proposal subject to: 1 . Paved width of private road shall be increased to 20'. 2. Render to provide a revised road plan detailing 20' width and revisedT turnaround. 3. Regan shall eliminate the driveway access to North Shore Drive upon opening of the access to Render's private road. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Motion to allow Dan Regan of 3410 North Shore Drive to create a driveway access to Render’s private road in Outlot A, Tonkawa Shores per conditions 1-3 above.
