Analysis:
Section
7-302.1.A.3 requires a minimum width of fifty (50) feet for
a private street. However, the Board of Supervisors has the
authority, in conjunction with a subdivision plan, to modify
this limitation provided the applicants can show that:
1. No other
remedy is realistically feasible;
2.
Plausible alternatives have been exhausted;
3. To not
modify the applicable limitation would place an unreasonable
restriction on the use of
the
property; and
4.
Properties through which access is planned will not be
unreasonably affected.
The twenty
(20) foot wide ingress and egress easement is adequate to
provide vehicular access to the properties as no additional
dwellings are proposed at this time, and the easement will
serve existing traffic. Without the requested waiver, the
applicants cannot proceed with the proposed division as the
road frontage and access requirements cannot be met. Refer
to the attached subdivision plat.
Staff would
point out that the deed of non-common open space would
prohibit widening of the ingress and egress easement in the
future. In addition, this application is not approving the
administrative division. Staff has repeatedly advised the
applicants that the administrative division as shown on
Attachment 3 will not allow any future division based on the
sliding scale.
