SB-13-01 Lands of 1151-1155 Walker Road: Minor Subdivision Petition to Waive a section of the Subdivision Ordinance Planning Commission Report from January 22, 2013 Meeting Page 2 of 2 Land Subdivision Regulations, Article VII includes provisions for waivers to be considered by the Planning Commission who provides a recommendation to City Council for action. A written waiver request was submitted for consideration by the Planning Commission for the requirement of Lot Frontage on a Public Street due the location of the buildings. See attached letter of request. A cross access easement is proposed to provide permanent access to Lot 2 from Walker Road (A Draft Cross-Easement and Joint Maintenance Agreement submitted with application; on file in Planning Office). The requested waiver is further summarized in the following chart: Land Subdivision Requirement Proposed Waiver Regulations Lot Frontage on Each lot required to have Lot 1 has frontage Allow the subdivision of the Public Street frontage on a public on Walker Road. parcel to create Lot 2 without street. public street frontage but with Lot 2 does not access to the public street as have frontage on a established by an easement public street, but across Lot 1. proposed to have access to Walker Road via a cross- access easement. Recommendation of Planning Staff: As part of the Development Advisory Committee (DAC) Report dated January 9, 2013, the Planning Staff made the following recommendation on the waiver request for application SB-13-01: Subdivision Waiver of Lot Frontage on a Public Street: Planning Staff recommends approval to waive the requirement to provide Lot Frontage on a Public Street for Lot 2. Staff finds that due to the location of the existing buildings and the existing layout of the property to achieve the Code required lot frontage on Walker Road (the public street) would create an irregular shaped lot and still require variances for setbacks. This proposal simplifies the parcel shapes and presents a series of proposed easements for access, utilities, parking and shared stormwater management facilities between the two lots. Findings and Recommendations of the Dover Planning Commission The Planning Commission at its meeting on January 22, 2013 reviewed the proposed waiver request as part of its review of the Minor Subdivision Plan for the Lands of 1151-1155 Walker Road, LLC. The Planning Commission recommends approval of the waiver of lot frontage on a public street for Minor Subdivision Plan SB-13-01 Lands of 1151-1155 Walker Road, LLC. The motion passed unanimously 6-0 of the members present (three members absent). Attachments: Minor Subdivision Plan (dated 11/30/2012) Waiver Request Letter of November 30, 2012
