Garden Way, which is classified as a major collector. EC 7.420(2)(e) requires that when unrestricted <br />access connections are proposed, they shall be aligned with connections across the street or have a <br />minimum 50-foot offset. Both access connections proposed onto South Garden Way do not meet the <br />minimum 50-foot offset as there are driveways across from the applicant’s site. <br /> <br />EC 9.8030 (28): Public Access Required. The public access requirement of 9.6735(2) may <br />be adjusted if the site developer demonstrates any of the following: <br />(b) The proposed adjustments to the standards will provide safe ingress and egress to <br />the development site, will not negatively impact the efficiency of the public right-of- <br />way, and will not result in a hazard to the bicycle, pedestrian or vehicular traffic using <br />the right-of-way. <br /> <br />In response to the above approval criterion for adjustment, the applicant starts by addressing the access <br />spacing. The applicant notes that while the access on the southern portion of their site is less than 100 <br />feet from an access to the south of their site, the access to the south serves a single-family home. The <br />home has a looped driveway, making multiple options available for a driver to safely enter and exit South <br />Garden Way. With respect to alignment across the street, the northern access is a non-issue as an <br />existing vegetated island exists in South Garden Way which will not allow vehicles from the two opposing <br />driveways to turn into the same travel lane at the same time. <br /> <br />For the southern access, it is offset 15 feet from the driveway to the assisted care facility located on the <br />eastern side of South Garden Way. The applicant states that with two driveway locations, and a looped <br />drop off and pickup area, the assisted care facility provides multiple options on their site for vehicles to <br />exit safely. Using similar logic, the applicant states that with two driveways, their site will disperse traffic <br />between the two driveways, resulting on only some vehicles leaving from the southern driveway on their <br />site. In support of their conclusion that the driveway will provide safe ingress and egress the applicant <br />provided a memorandum from Todd Mobley, PE dated March 22, 2022. The memorandum provides <br />technical analysis which further demonstrates that the applicant’s proposal meets the approval criteria <br />for adjustment. <br /> <br />Based on the available information, and findings above, the applicant’s request for an adjustment to EC <br />9.6735 is approved. <br /> <br />Adjustment Request 3 – EC 9.5500(4)(b) <br /> <br />EC 9.5500(4)(b): Street Frontage. On development sites that will result in 100 feet or <br />more of public or private street frontage, at least 60 percent of the site frontage abutting <br />the street (including required yards) shall be occupied by a building(s) or enhanced <br />pedestrian space with no more than 20 percent of the 60 percent in enhanced pedestrian <br />space, placed within 10 feet of the minimum front yard setback line. (See Figure <br />9.5500(4)(b) Multiple-Family Minimum Building Setback Along Streets.) On development <br />sites with less than 100 feet of public or private street frontage, at least 40 % of the site <br />width shall be occupied by a building(s) placed within 10 feet of the minimum front yard <br />setback line. Building projections and offsets with an offset interval of 10 feet or less <br />meet this standard (excluding required yards). “Site width,” as used in this standard, shall <br />Attachment A
