Access. As existing, access to Parcel A is off Bryan Street. No alterations will be made to this condition. Access to Parcel B will be established by construction a portion of Boss Road, which runs along the east side of the property. Boss Road is an existing right-of-way that is currently not being used by the City. The City requires a minimum right-of-way width of 50 feet for single family residential local streets platted and/or dedicated after October 1, 1981. A small portion of the right- of-way on the east side has been previously vacated. The remaining width of the right- of-way is 50 feet, satisfying the minimum requirement. The applicant has previously worked with the City to establish construction standards for Boss Road. The applicant shall be required to comply with these standards upon construction. A driveway 35 feet in width is proposed for Parcel B in the southwest corner of the property, approximately two feet from the side lot line. The Ordinance requires that all curb cuts be located a minimum of five feet from side lot lines. The Ordinance also limits curb-cut accesses to a maximum width of 24 feet. The applicant shall be required to shift the driveway to the north to meet the five foot minimum setback, and reduce the width of the driveway at the curb cut to not exceed 24 feet. RECOMMENDATION The proposed lot split results in two parcels that are generally consistent with the regulations of both the Zoning Ordinance and the Subdivision Ordinance. Both lots meet all lot requirements and setback requirements. However, an alternate driveway design must be submitted for Parcel B. As proposed, this driveway does not meet the setback or curb cut requirements. As such, staff recommends approval of the simple subdivision as proposed, subject to the following conditions: 1. The driveway on Parcel B shall be modified to meet the five foot side yard setback requirement and the 24 foot maximum curb cut requirement. 2
