MCCARTHY, <br />2490 OLD BEACH ORAD - <br />PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - PUBLIC HEARING 8:15 - 8:50 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />Mr. McCarthy was present. <br />Mabusth explained two options for development as outlined in the <br />memo. She noted the City Engineer has requested that no new curb <br />cuts be approved. She indicated the code does not require a shared <br />access for new developments off private roads and noted there is <br />adequate width along the road for an individual curb cut for Lot <br />2. She proposed the only way to approve this application without <br />variances is to include the area within the 250 -500' setback area <br />within the 75 -250' area and credit the driveway hardcover against <br />the 75 -250' hardcover allowance of 25 %. Applicant would have to <br />maintain hardcover at 25 %. She noted the applicant proposes <br />hardcover at 25.1% within the 75 -250' setback area. She also noted <br />the shed at the shared lot line would need to be removed. <br />Charles Smoot, 2665 Maple Ridge Lane, expressed strong opposition <br />to the proposal and explained this is one of the principal wooded <br />areas left in the area to help with run -off. He presented a <br />petition of opposition. He felt the existing house and lot were <br />appropriate for the neighborhood. He added the applicant has not <br />lived in the neighborhood yet and wishes to change it already. <br />1 <br />
