1 <br /> 15 <br /> The Planning Staff recommends approval of the <br /> Preliminary Plan for Spring Farm - Section Three <br /> with a Class B private road subject to the <br /> conditions contained in the Resolution of <br /> Approval which is an attachment to these minutes <br /> on pages <br /> Barrows asked if there had been discussion of a <br /> shared driveway for lots 11 and 12. Cameron <br /> responded that it had not been discussed. Barrows <br /> continued that she felt it would make sense <br /> because of the way they entered the cul-de-sac. <br /> Cameron responded that it could be reviewed. In <br /> the past that was a requirement only when <br /> crossing power lines, buffers, or streams. <br /> Waddell asked about the distance of the arc on <br /> the traffic circle for lots 11 and 12.

The Planning <br /> Director is preparing information for the <br /> February 26 public hearing on <br /> the issue of parkland dedication and payment-in- <br /> lieu. <br /> Walters, responding to the concern regarding <br /> sideyard setbacks, stated that she felt it was <br />
