Approve the requested variance to reduce the minimum vertical curve K value from 25 to 23 on Vista View Lane at STA 116+25, based on the following evidence of hardship presented by the applicant.
a. This phase of the subdivision needs to be slightly higher than the prior phases to drain into the previously constructed detention basin properly. Reaching this higher elevation was done as quickly as possible along the proposed vertical alignment, resulting in a K value of 23 instead of 25.
b. Shallow rock is a unique condition to the property encountered on this proposed roadway from approximately Station 117+00 through the end of the alignment. The lowered K value request results from trying to get the vertical alignment above the rock layer as quickly as possible.
c. The granting of the variation will not be detrimental to public safety, health, or welfare because easements through the curves in question allow for adequate sight distance.
