Topic:  

A Resolution to Approve a Waiver Allowing a Private Street That Does Not Connect Directly to a State Maintained Street, Marshall District

A Resolution to Deny a Waiver Allowing a Private Street That Does Not Connect Directly to a State Maintained Street, Marshall District

Topic Description:

The applicant is seeking a waiver of Zoning Ordinance Section 7-302 1.B., Limitations, which would allow a subdivision on a private street that does not connect directly to a state maintained street. The subject properties are currently accessed by Walsingham Lane, which is a private road that connects to Crest Hill Road (Route 647). The applicant is proposing to divide a 10-acre parcel into two (2) lots, an administrative lot and a residue and the adjoining 13-acre parcel into two (2) lots, an administrative lot and a residue. As proposed, the lots would be accessed by an extension of Walsingham Lane, which would run between the two (2) parcels. An additional easement comes off of Walsingham Lane, thus providing the need for this waiver.

The properties are zoned Rural Agriculture (RA) and each has the subdivision potential to be divided into two (2) lots. The property is located on the west side of Crest Hill Road (Route 647).

The applicant’s justification is included as Attachment 3.  The vicinity map is included as Attachment 1, while Attachment 2 illustrates the access to the proposed lots.

Planning Commission Action:

On May 25, 2006, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended denial of the applicant’s request for a waiver of Section 7-302 1.B. of the Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Commission staff report is available upon request.
