The Planner CODE RELATIVE noted that when the Council adopted Che ordinance amendment TO IMPERVIOUS allowing two curb cuts for residential properties by Conditional Use SURFACE AND Permit in reaction to the County Road B-2 request for a horseshoe CURB CUT driveway, it was discovered that that particular property has more ACCESSES than 30% impervious surface coverage, thus the property owners could not proceed with the horseshoe driveway.
