Klint stated they arrived at the two carb cuts for eese of access to the site. The primary driveway will be Heritage Lane regardlesa if the two ct�rb cuts are appmved. The house and lot design does not allow£or the primary driveway to ba off of Heritage Drive. Klint stated the two curb cuts will sllow the h�affic to move through the site rather than backing up onto the road. Gustafson stated he loft thc laat meeting with the misundsrstanding that the objection was to the Heritage Drive snd not Heritage L,ane. Gustafson st�ted if there vfras oa�ly one cwb cut on Heritage Drive,the design dces not work without a 75 to 1 fl0 foot sidewalk to tho frornt doar. Gu�tafson indicated c,ars would also have a difficult time getting around the cornes and having a turnaraund by the front doar. Gustafson stated the one cwrb cut o�Heritage Lane dces war�C but it is not ss elegant aaci requires more asphalt as well as a turnar�und. Klir►t statec�auothar concem that was raised at the last ncighborhtx�d meeting was that by�having aecess onto Herlltage L,ane that waulc3 reduce the number of parking spaces available to the residents far on�treet parking to acoess their docks.

Klin�t stated if you sasume t�at there ia 20 feet per parking sPace,the diatauce from the curb cut to essentially the first Parking spot behind the stcyp aign,there is 340 f�e,et of curb. Given that amomit of space,the residents would be able to park up to as maay as 17 cars between the cu�b cut aad the stop sign. Klint notsd there ar+e 16 lots im the asaociaition n'tght now,with two of the lots bcing cmpty and two of the lots being locatod direetly across fmm this p�ogeriy. Klint ststed if ev�ryvne dccided to come a�d park,thexe wanld be enaugh roam for everyc�ne in the assaciatian to park on the one side of the street. Klutt notod in the past the twd curb euts have beea approved by the City Engineer without input from the Councit. The ne�w engineer has asked for input from the Council,which is why it is being brought tc�the Council's attention tonight. Gustafsoa asked if Staff hss rece�ived a�opinion from the City Engineer ar whether he has simply deferred to the Council. C�utis indicated she did as,k him if the decision was a Staff ciecision versus a Council decision and what standards and concerns noed to be addfiessed with the curb cut approval. Ctiirtis stated the Code requirEs a 1(1Q-foot setback from the c��rner and other engineering standards be met,such as the curve of the road.
