A
Resolution to Approve a Waiver Allowing a Private Street
that Does Not Connect Directly to a State Maintained Street
|
|
Topic
Description:
|
|
The owner 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. In May 2006, an administrative subdivision was
approved on this property that created Lot 13A (61 acres)
and Lot 13B (10 acres). The 10-acre lot was to be served by
a 50-foot ingress-egress easement, Whisper Drive, which
connects directly to Brent Town Road (Route 612). In
addition, Lot 13B has access to another private street
(Seneca Lake Drive). Now the applicant is requesting a
waiver so the portion of Whisper Drive that splits Lot 13A
may be vacated. This would result in the section Whisper
Drive intended to access Lot 13B would first connect to
Seneca Lake Drive rather than a direct connection to Lot
13B. The applicant has attempted to obtain a second entrance
off of Brent Town Road in order to create a new
ingress-egress easement that would serve Lot 13B; however,
the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) wants to
limit new access points to Brent Town Road and has advised
against this option.
