DIScuSSION WITH PATRICK KELLY OF REZONE AND CUL-DE-SAC ON BLUTO BOULEVARD

The completed Land Use Intent Form was corrected to reflect the final finding of two PDR in addition to the grandfathered farm house. At the site visit the Plan Commission discussed options for moving lot lines. A new certified survey map showing the new boundaries and the location of the required cul-de-sac, and letters of agreement from property owners will be submitted at the December meeting. We will also require documentation of where Bluto Blvd ends.

The cul-de-sac will meet town requirements, likely 120 feet diameter, 60 ft radius, 50 foot surfaced. It will be dedicated to the town; Mark Sherven will have the town’s attorney draw up the agreement. The rezone will be activated as of the date of completion of the cul-de-sac.

If a parcel is created over 35 acres then it does not require the 66 foot frontage. Patrick Kelly should check with the county to be sure.

 

CONTINUATION OF WORK ON Policy and procedure manual

There was discussion of the need to address moving of grandfathered home sites, clarifying wording of the 66-foot frontage rule, including cul-de-sacs in the driveway ordinance, and requiring turnarounds on dead-end roads.
