Background Information: The applicant has proposed a third curb cut for their proposed residential development. The zoning ordinance does not make an allowance for three (3) curb cuts along the same frontage. The zoning ordinance calls out specific circumstances and designs that govern the number and location of curb cuts on a building site. The ordinance calls out the following: • One per designated building site • Two curb cuts for circular driveways, and • Three for corner lots with a circular driveway along the site frontage and a third on the side street. This property does not fit neatly into one of the above requirements. Instead, this property is unique in the fact that it is a consolidation of two (2) lots, each being sixty (60) feet in width to create a single building site with one hundred and twenty (120) feet of frontage. The zoning ordinance makes an allowance for a Special Exception for additional curb cuts in a different design or location than prescribed by the ordinance. The applicant is proposing a circular driveway and a straight driveway along the same frontage. Staff has done a preliminary review of their proposed site plan, and the proposed design is compliant with all applicable external regulations. Applicable Regulations: • Table 7A-5a: Parking, driveways, etc. (attached) • Table 7A-5a: Parking, driveways, etc.:Note 5. Curb cuts.

Special Exceptions. (attached) Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the requested special exception. Staff finds that this proposal has no adverse effects and satisfies the burden of proof prescribed for a Special Exception. The Zoning Board of Adjustment may approve, deny, or approve with conditions the requested special exception. Special Exception—Findings; burden of proof: Special exceptions.

(2) The ZBA has determined that the proposed special exception will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this section. (3) If the proposed special exception involves a bar,the ZBA has found that the applicant has clearly demonstrated that there is a readiness,willingness and ability to comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and ordinances relating to alcoholic beverages. (4) The ZBA has made any additional findings and determinations required by a specific provision of this section.
