4 9 to the property. A portion of the right-of-way is being provided via an existing lot (Lot A) . The required road classification is Class C because the access is intended to serve only these two lots. Reduction of the right-of-way from the required 50 feet to the proposed 30 feet is needed due to the location of the existing septic drain line located on Lot A (existing lot) as well as the limited area for a proposed septic system for Lot B (the newly created lot) . The Planning Staff recommends approval of a partial width right-of-way of 30 feet for the proposed private road. i Barrows asked what would happen if the partial width right-of-way was not granted. Garrett responded that they would not be able to create the lot in question. Reid asked if the curve in Dimmocks Mill Road was the reason that access could not be obtained. Garrett responded that Lot B does not have direct access, only Lot A. Waddell asked about the property that belongs to Mr. Wagner between Lot B and Dimmocks Mill Road and Garrett responded that was the reason that the Settlemyres do not have direct road frontage. Barrows asked if Mr. Wagner had been contacted about an easement or access. The applicant responded that Mr. Wagner had indicated he would sell the strip needed for a sum of $5,000.00 or trade it for an acre of land. Barrows indicated the property could be developed without granting a partial width right-of-way even though the cost would be high. Reid noted that he felt the curve would also prevent access and asked if DOT would agree. Garrett responded that DOT would not be contacted until the property owner applies for a driveway permit. MOTION: Boland moved approval of the partial width right- of-way as recommended by the Planning Staff. Seconded by Reid. VOTE: 10 in favor. 1 opposed (Barrows - could be bought, expense cannot be considered by the Planning Board) .
