Commissioner Hall expressed concern of the need for a more comprehensive plan for the traffic flow in
this area. Since traffic is being limited to the- Frontage Road, he is comfortable with this specific
request; however, .the traffic issues still. need to be addressed. He stated that he is in favor of the
proposed rezoning .request. and everyone involved in the meetings to come up with this compromise
should be commended..
Commissioner Gribou expressed concern with the legal precedence the City will be establishing with
this case. He stated that he would like to see the "R&D" zoning issue resolved. sooner so that we do
not have to deal with amulti-step and sloppy process to accomplish the same goals.. He stated that his
vote against the rezoning request does not reflect the use of the property but more of the legal questions
and concerns of the deed restrictions.
The motion to recommend approval of the proposed rezoning request passed (6 - 1); Commissioner
Gribou voted in opposition to the motion.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Consideration of a final plat and driveway variance request for the
Jordan Subdivision totaling 5.84 acres divided into three C-3 Planned Commercial lots located
along the south side of State Highway 30 between Linda and Pamela Lanes. (96-204)x/'
Graduate Civil Engineer Homeyer informed the Commission that the subject .property is located
adjacent to and on the west side of the LaSelva Nursery approximately 1.5 miles east of the intersection
of State Highways 6 and 30. The purpose of this finale plat is to subdivide 5.84 acres into three lots
zoned C-3, Planned Commercial. The average lot size for the three subdivided lots is 1.95 acres. The
applicant is_requesting a variance to the driveway ordinance requirement of having a minimum spacing
of 275' between driveways. The applicant is desiring an individual access drive for each lot. As the
letter from the applicant states, the proposed distance between each drive would be approximately 190'.
Staff recommended approval of the final plat as submitted and denial of the driveway variance request.
Transportation Planner Hard approached the Commission to provide additional information concerning
the driveway variance request.. Staff originally worked with the applicant and initially agreed that lots 2
and 3 would share a driveway and lot 1 would have its own driveway. Staff considers this position a
compromise, since even with the shared driveway, the 275' spacing requirement can not. be met. Staff
agreed to this arrangement since it consolidated the number of driveways from three to two.
Representative of the .applicant. Don Garrett of Garrett Engineering approached the Commission and
offered to answer any questions pertaining to the proposed final plat and driveway variance.
Commissioner Gribou moved to recommend approval of the final plat with the Presubmission
Conference comments and denial of the driveway variance request.. Commissioner Smith seconded the
motion which passed unopposed (7 - 0).

FROM: Weldon Jordan, Phone 693-0900
SUBJECT: Plat -Jordan Subdivision; Variance Request for Entry Drives
I am requesting a variance from the requirement of having 275 feet between drives for the
following reasons:
1. While still in the City Limits, the location of this subdivision is Rural, rather than a
high-traffic city street.
2. The property is zoned C-3 and will very likely be low traffic generators. Service-type
businesses are the types of businesses to locate on these lots.
3. Between this subdivision and the east bypass, approximately 1-1/2 miles, there are no
other drives onto Harvey Road from the south side, with the exception of the street Linda Lane
and the street entering the Windwood subdivision. There is an entry drive into the La Selva
Orchid Nursery which is adjacent, to the east, of this subdivision and is approximately 70 feet
from the east boundary of this. subdivision. There is also an entry. drive to an apartment house,
also to the east, approximately 170 feet from this subdivision. There are no entry drives onto
Harvey Road from the north side except the entry into the old T.I. plant and the Furrows drive
near the by-pass. So there will not be an overloading or crowding of too many entry drives onto
Harvey Road in this. area.
4. There will be three separate lots in this subdivision. Each lot will be developed at
different times, perhaps a year or several years between when each lot is developed. If the first
lot developer has to construct a shared access driveway for some unknown future neighbor, he
will have no way to collect for the additional expense. He will essentially be building the drive
for someone else for free. In fairness, the two lot owners sharing the drive should share in the
cost of the drive and in the maintenance. This will not be logistically possible since there is no
other lot owner at this time.
5. It is natural for each business or lot developer to desire to have his. own entry drive.
Most people do not want to have to worry about working out a shared maintenance or resolving
potential disagreements over who damaged the driveway and who should be paying for it.
6. The actual distance between the entry drives, if each of the three lots has an entry
drive centered at the middle of each lot, will be approximately 190 feet. This is less. than the 275
feet per the ordinance, but is still a considerable distance and should not pose any potential
hazard being in a rural area and from aloes-traffic generator site.
The City's consideration of this request will be appreciated. Thank you.
