) <br /> ) 9 <br /> c. Partial Width Right-of-Way <br /> ( 1) Kenneth & Faye Southard <br /> Presentation by Jane Garrett. <br /> item tem is to consider a request by Kenneth D. <br /> Southard and Faye M. Southard for a reduction in <br /> right-of-way width from 50 feet to 30 feet. <br /> The Southards wish to create a 1 . 382 acre lot out <br /> of a 13.08 acre tract. The property is located <br /> north of US Highway 70 . An existing private road <br /> approximately 490 feet in length (200 feet with a <br /> 30 foot right-of-way and 290 with a 50 foot <br /> right-of-way) will provide access to the <br /> property. The required road classification is <br /> Class C because the access will serve a total of <br /> three lots. <br /> A partial width right-of-way was approved ( for <br /> this private road) by the Board of Commissioners <br /> on November 1, 1988.

In addition, <br /> the property owner (James A. Wynn) west of <br /> Glisson Drive is unwilling to grant or sell the <br /> needed area for the full required right-of-way <br /> width. , <br /> The Planning Staff recommends approval of a <br /> partial width right-of-way of 30 feet <br /> (approximately 200 feet in length) for the <br /> existing private road. <br /> Waddell asked about further subdivision of the <br /> larger lot. Garrett responded that is unknown <br /> at this time. <br /> Burklin asked about the size of the Doby lot. <br /> Garrett responded . 92 acre (40,000 sq. ft. ) . <br /> Garrett later clarified that the Doby lot is <br /> nonconforming in size because it is approximately <br /> 30,000 sq. ft. ( .68 acre) whereas the minimum lot <br />
