Cameron responded <br /> that technically on the bulb of a cul de sac the minimum frontage is 20 feet. <br /> The lot is shaped like a flag lot,but meets the minimum lot width <br /> requirement. <br /> MOTION: Barrows moved approval as recommended by the Planning Staff with the <br /> addition to F-3 in the Resolution as stated by Cameron. Seconded by <br /> Hoecke. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. <br /> (2) Holman Heirs Subdivision <br /> (6 Lots-Chapel Hill Township) <br /> Presentation by Emily Cameron. <br /> The property is located in Chapel Hill Township west of the intersection of <br /> Old School Road(SR 194 1)and Moon Ridge road(SR 1973)south of <br /> Jones Ferry Road(SR 1942)in the University Lake Watershed portion of <br /> the Rural Buffer. The tract consists of two lots of record zoned Rural <br /> Buffer and University Lake Protected Watershed. Adjacent land uses are <br /> residential. <br /> There are two existing residential structures,two mobile homes which will <br /> be removed,and a shed on the property. A 100-foot Piedmont EMC power <br /> line right-of-way crosses the eastern portion of the site running north-south. <br /> A 50-foot land use buffer is required adjacent to both sides of the <br /> power line right-of-way. <br /> The total acreage of the tract is 17.18 acres. The land contains a knoll near <br /> the center of the site with northwest facing slopes that range from 10-22 <br /> percent gradients.The southeast facing slopes do not exceed 16 percent. <br /> The proposed subdivision consists of two adjacent lots of record as of <br /> October 2, 1989 when the current watershed protection standards were <br /> adopted. The Zoning Ordinance allows the tracts to be combined for <br /> development,provided the resultant subdivided lots do no exceed the sum <br /> of the number of lots which could be created from each lot of record. Out <br /> of 17 acres,the maximum number of lots which could be proposed is eight <br /> (8). Six lots are proposed which average 2.86 acres in size. <br /> Lot 1 and 6 contain existing residences. Each lot will have an individual <br /> well and septic system and will have access to Old School Road via a <br /> proposed private road. The private road will extend an existing private <br /> right-of-way and will follow the existing driveway currently serving the <br /> two residences. The applicant's private road justification and the Planning <br /> Staff's analysis are attachments to these minutes on pages <br /> The private road is justified through the subdivision's location in a <br /> protected watershed,the steep slopes on site,and the fact that the <br /> subdivision will not be visible from the public road.
