Applicant has discussed the potential for an easterly access with the "Underhill Farms" property owners, whose reaction is unfavorable (letter attached). The developer has submitted a revised preliminary plat drawing showing an outlot for future use as right-of-way, intending to provide a suitabiE: corridor for a future connection betw�.en Tanglewood and Knoll Manor Roads. Staff feels that, there are four access options, listed and described below in order from best to worst from a planning perspective: 1. Removal of Tanglewood Road existing access; reconstruct Tanglewood access 150' +/- easterly to coincide with existing Knoll Manor access drive; Knoll Manor Road becomes a short cul-de-sac off of re -aligned Tanglewood. * ADVANTAGES - 1) Relatively less safe Tanglewood access is removed, and relocated to a safer location; 2) Eliminate-s the second access onto County Road 6; 3) Tanglewood Road gains a degree of privacy and exclusivity due to winding road.
