BACKGROUND: Othar Thompson wishes to subdivide his 5.5 acre tract (of which he resides) into three (3) lots and in turn convey one of the lots to his granddaughter, Kaye Chambers, to construct a house. Access for all proposed lots can not be provided within the tract due to the location of existing structures. The next closest means of access (Lots 8 and 10 of the tax map) also have problems with existing structures. Lot 12 (of the tax map) is willing to grant access but can only provide the partial width due to the location of the dwelling unit. The existing structures on Lots 10 and 11 have non- conforming side and rear setbacks. The edge of the proposed right -of -way for Lot 12 is 29 feet from the existing dwelling. While the existing drive for Lot 12 is within the same area, the existing front yard setback is from NC 86. Therefore, the 20 -foot minimum setback is met at the side yard setback. There is an existing gravel driveway on Lots 11 and 12 which currently provides access to Lots 10, 11 and 12. It is approximately 250 feet in length and 10 feet in width which extends from NC Highway 86. This existing driveway will be extended approximately 130 feet ending in a cul -de -sac. The entire length will be upgraded to Class B private road standards. Two (2)
