PUBLIC APPEARANCES There were no public appearances. VI. BUSINESS A. Public Hearing and consideration of a tentative plan to construct a 12-lot residential subdivision (Mayberry Place) on 3.65 acers in the Residential Single Family (R-1-10) zoning district. The proposal includes re-plat of a Parcel 2 in the Cook Partition (No. 57-2006) into two (2) lots and public utility easement modification. The project site is located on Grant Road on property identified as 37S 2W 10BC Tax Lots 2200 and 2301. Applicant W.L. Moore Construction; Agent: Herb Farber, Farber Consulting. File No. SUB-20003. Tom Van Voorhees read the rules for a quasi-judicial hearing. Amy Moore stated she had a conflict of interest as she was a principal of W.L. Moore Construction and recused herself. There was no ex parte contact or bias to declare. Pat Smith arrived. (6:13 p.m.) Principal Planner Stephanie Holtey described the handouts provided to the commissioners as a revised staff report, revised Public Works staff report, revised Resolution 882 and E-mail correspondence from Daniel Coontz regarding drainage from the pond on the property. Ms. Holtey said this is a tentative plan application to subdivide 3.65 acres into twelve low density residential lots. It includes re-platting Parcel 2 of the Cook Partition into two lots. The existing right of-way for Cook Lane will be used to construct a Minor Residential street, which will be renamed Mayberry Lane. Additionally an existing Public Utility Easement would be eliminated because the re-plat would provide adequate access to all lots She explained there is an existing irrigation pond on the project site. In accordance with the Department of State Lands, it is exempt from the Fill-Removal Law and may be drained and filled to support the proposed subdivision. She added the proposed subdivision is within the minimum/maximum range for density and meets the lot dimension standards for the R-1-10 zone. Ms. Holtey said there were several issues regarding the application. Grant Road is county-owned and operated. The County is concerned about the offset intersection of Mayberry and Blue Jay Lane at Grant Road. They are requesting a condition requiring the Applicant to prepare a limited Traffic Impact Analysis to study the sight lines and need for mitigation. In the alternative, the County will accept restricting access at the south entrance to Mayberry Lane to right-in/right-out. A ‘pork chop’ will be required to physically limit access. She said the Applicant has elected to restrict access and a revised Tentative Plan will be provided prior to Civil Improvement Plan approval by the Public Works Department. The commissioners discussed traffic patterns and agreed it would not be a very high traffic area. Mr. Humphrey gave several examples of this type of traffic control within the City. Ms. Holtey stated Grant road is a collector street. Jackson County does not want to have too many driveways on a collector because there is a higher risk of traffic issues. The County has requested any existing driveway accesses onto Grant Road to be closed and all properties take their access off of interior streets. They recommend constructing a curb, gutter and sidewalk to assure no access onto GrantRroad. She said Public Works has recommended deferring the curb, gutter sidewalk and instead constructing frontage improvements to limit access because Grant Road will soon be transferred to the City and at this time we don’t know what the standard is going to be so it doesn’t make sense to do any hardscape improvements at this time.
