rmuPi ul_miJuk ILJ MEMORANDUM To: 60CC From: Alice Gordon PkV Subject: Private Road Justification Criteria Date: May 2, 1993 There are some thoughts about agenda item III-C for May 3 that I would like to share with you. The proposed subdivision amendments make three changes. A. The following two changes are straightforward and should be approved, in my opinion: (1) allow private roads In subdivisions that are 100% built out and in which the existing development would be made less non-conforming. This change is accomplished by adding section 6 on page 10 of your packet. (2) eliminate the prohibition of further subdivision (unless all owners concur). This change is accomplished by deleting a sentence on page 11 of your packet. B. The third change is more problematic because, as I understand it, the amendment will lead to the inequity explained below_ If section 7 on page 11 of your packet is adopted, subdivisions with private roads 350 feet long or less (and meeting certain other criteria) can be approved. According to text and diagram on page 7 of the packet, that could allow a subdivision of up to 7 lots to be created. The inequity will occur because owners of lots on private roads (longer than 350 feet) in existing subdivisions will still not be allowed to subdivide using a private road unless they can meet one of the criteria listed on pages 9, 10, 11 of your packet. The Inequity can be illustrated using the following drawing which is similar to the one on page 7 but assumes that most of the lots are 1-1/2 acres, with one lot of 3 acres. In a one-acre zoning district, the 3 acre -Lot X" in this existing subdivision cannot be subdivided into two lots as a matter of right. ' • • P I riv r ti-y rd1/424-1.-.
