by the Planning Commission

Approve the variance request to reduce the minimum private right-of-way width requirement to 25 feet due to the existing flag stem preventing a wider right-of-way, and waive the requirement for a private right-of-way serving at least 6 lots to be named since it would causes other property owners whose properties are not a part of this plat to change their address.

Disposition Summary
Approve the variance request to reduce the minimum private right-of-way width requirement to 25 feet due to the existing flag stem preventing a wider right-of-way, and waive the requirement for a private right-of-way serving at least 6 lots to be named since it would causes other property owners whose properties are not a part of this plat to change their address.
Staff Recommendation
Approve the variance request to reduce the minimum private right-of-way width requirement to 25 feet due to the existing flag stem preventing a wider right-of-way, and waive the requirement for a private right-of-way serving at least 6 lots to be named since it would causes other property owners whose properties are not a part of this plat to change their address.
1) This plat proposes to create three lots out of parcel 007LA015.
2) The property is currently a flag lot, with the flag stem providing access to three properties in addition to the subject property. Therefore, if this plat is approved, the right-of-way would serve 6 lots.
3) The three other lots served by the private right-of-way are not addressed off the private right-of-way. Therefore, if the private right-of-way is named, it would cause the other property owners to have to change their address according to the Addressing Department rules and regulations. Therefore, Planning supports the request to waive the naming requirement.
4) The existing flag stem is approximately 25 ft wide, so the plat requires a variance to reduce the width requirement of a private right-of-way from 40 ft to 25 ft until such point where the required width can be accommodated. Planning supports this waiver since the 40 ft width cannot physically be met, provided that the width tapers out to 40 ft as space allows.
5) The flag stem crosses into the City of Blaine in Grainger County. Planning sent the plat to the City of Blaine for review. The Mayor of the City of Blaine, Marvin Braden, reviewed the plat and relayed his comments, which were incorporated into the plat.
